Anxious travel thoughts…

How do I plan a trip?

What do I need to take with me?
What if I forget something?
What if something happens to my house while I am gone?
What if I leave the coffee maker running?

We have ALL had those thoughts. We still have those thoughts, even after traveling half way around the world a couple of times. If you don’t believe that, our very first story will remind you about our pre-departure anxiety!

But we know we can’t let worrisome thoughts get in the way of living our dreams. If we do, we might never leave the house!

So, what do we do to keep on going?

First, we start with good information about our destinations, and set up our itineraries in advance. That way we know where we are going, how we are getting there, where we will stay, and all of the other important stuff, ahead of time.
Second, we use good old-fashioned pre-travel checklists, to ensure that we cover all the bases.
- We use a checklist to plan our trip.
- We use a checklist of what to do before we leave our home.
- We use a checklist of everything to pack.

Well how does this help you???

When you sign up to our mailing list, using this special form to the right, you will get all of our planning checklists, right away!
And, when we develop new checklists, you will be the first to get them.

Of course that is not all you will get. You will also get our latest articles, as they publish, which include all of our in-depth information about every place we, and our guest writers, visit.

We share how to get there, great things to do, as well as places to see and things to do.

We even share those inside tricks we learn along the way, like:

Yes, you can get great vegetarian in St. Louis.

Yes, you can avoid hours of wait at the Anne Frank House.

Yes, you can see Niagara Falls for free.

Yes, you can see New York City on a budget.

The only other time we email you is when there is something big and special going on, like once or twice a year.
