I get inquiries from people everyday who want to either travel with me (or without me) to Paris, Italy, and now, Peru.  I am always happy to take the time and comunicate with them by phone or e-mail about traveling.   I also give lectures on traveling to groups from as small as 15 people up to 150 people.

I can talk all day with them about what they can expect to see, what to pack, itineraries, weather, flight information, where to eat and sleep.  I show them pictures and video of where I have traveled to.   They always say to me "I would love to go there".  My response always is, "well, let's go".     But then, almost 9 out of ten people come up with a variety of excuses, including:

  • I can't get off from work
  • It's too expensive
  • I can't find anyone to travel with
  • I'm waiting for airfares to come down
  • The dollar is too weak

So, maybe they are right.    It is always going to be expensive to travel.  Airfares will always be high.  It can be hard to convince someone to travel with.  Finding the time is difficult.

If my father could someone listen to those excuses, I wonder what he would be saying to them now.

This post make me read, again," The Shortness of Liife", by Seneca

This is exactly the reason why I'm going to Paris with my mother on the October Trip. She has always wanted to go and instead of giving her a big bash for her 60th birthday I figured this would be something special that the two of us could share and cherish always. Life is too short to not do the things you have a passion to do.

What a great article! A great piece to remind us that we should never have to say "I should have...".

What a super article!!!. If you are flying to Paris you can check the Paris airports for transfer to Paris guide and general information. If your destination is Charles de Gaulle Airport check the airport tranfser to Paris options. The fastest and cheapest transfer mode is using the RER train line B (Blue)
Keep up the great work and I’ll return for more! Cheers!

I must say that generally I’m really impressed with this writing. If you are flying to Paris you could check the Paris metro system for traveling within Paris city. Also check the Paris travel guide for planning your trip.
Keep up the great work and I’ll return for more! Cheers!

My brother just wanted to go to South Carolina before he died at age 33. He never made it as well. This is why I am going to Paris in October.
