Travel Musings, Volume 3 – Resolution Time

You know what time it is – we’re almost to the end of the year where you look at your waistline and say, this is the year I’m going to lose ‘X’ amount of pounds. Or maybe your resolutions are focused on reading one or more of the classics or even the Bible.  One thing I love to do around this time of year is set a target of where I’d like to travel to in the year ahead.  These could be international trips, domestic trips, or even local sites that I’ve never seen before.

Making lists is fun.  Making travel lists is REALLY fun.  It really is a mini-bucket list albeit on a one-year timeline. I do know this – if you don’t write it down you’ll probably never do it. Not only does this apply to goals you have with your career or life, but travel especially. 

Zig Ziglar said it best – if you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.  Developing your travel list is no different – if you have nothing to shoot for in places to see, you’ll be hard pressed to go see them.  So, looking forward as we inch closer to 2014, what is it going to be?  Have you always wanted to fly to London for a long weekend or take in the sights and sounds of New York during Christmas? Whatever it is, remember that the beginning starts with the end in mind so break the year up into quarters, plan a trip to a place where you want to go, and go do it.

Here’s to a blessed and fun 2014!
