This year, I learned a few things about traveling on a long trip.  These things aren’t as big on shorter trips, but become more obvious the longer the trip.

Delays happen

\n

From traffic delays getting to the airport to delays departing from the gate to delays getting your bags at your destination, delays will always happen.  Plan for them, allow extra time, and go with the flow.  You won’t get to your next spot any faster by getting upset.

Burial Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts has been used for burials by Plymouth residents since the 1620s, including passengers of the Mayflower and Governor William Bradford.

Living on the west coast for much of my life, I have taken granted the beautiful views I see each day. The crashing waves into boulders where ocean meets land, the sunset disappearing into the horizon, and all the sand that always manages to get into my shoes and socks. It wasn’t until I visited the northeast that I really appreciated the coast and noticed there are different features among the west and the east coasts.

\n

On the west coast, the waves crash into the boulders that were placed there by humans to break the violent waves that come in the winter, taking the backyards away from homes perched on top of bluffs above the beach. It depends on the day, sometimes you can see a beautiful sunset that reflects off the water until the sun disappears into the ocean. Other days, fog can hide the sunsets and even views from far away.
