Travel

Travel, simply put is the act of going from one place to another .. but its not that simple when you want all the creature comforts that you are used to in your day to day life.

For me, travel is always a 4 stage process : Planning, Preparation, Execution and winding down.

Planning: At this stage its all about identifying the location , booking airplane tickets (if it requires air travel) , lodging and transportation, mapping out places and people of interest at our destination (using mapping software such as MS Streets & trips or Google/Yahoo maps), making advanced bookings
for activities that might interest us at our destination and of course planning on what and where we will chow when we are traveling away from home. The last point is especially important if you have food restrictions (eg. Vegetarianism) as we do.
