Travelling Light with your Family on Vacation Travel Light and you be more present to the wonders of the world and maybe even pick up a few epiphanies along the way about… well, about almost anything and everyone including yourself. Believe me if you follow the above suggestion you gain in ways I could never know. And you will gain the respect of your family for your road wisdom. Your motto should be "LEAVE IT AT HOME!" If you can buy it at your destination - do it! Leave clothes, cameras (yes cameras, I buy the little light digital ones available all over the globe now), make up (why are you getting away if you need the same face where you are going?), books, guides, cell phones (I know this is a BIG one, but unless you are going to be gone more than two weeks -TAKE A BREAK! You will be AMAZED at how free you will be NOT being called or calling anyone!) . Rediscover who you and your family can be without all our cultural techno entrapments! Tune in, turn on to the simple wonders of (as that GREAT philosopher - Alan Watts - so eloquently spoke about) DOING NOTHING! This is a great way to health and wonder and yes, happiness! Sleep more, take a walk going NOWHERE and leave your cell phone back in Detroit. Less is more. Just take ready cash the amount dependent on where you are going and the length of your stay a credit card and your medicines. That is it all, everything! And teach these common sense ways to your kids (who always require more "stuff"), and they will reward you with less stress and more quiet, sleep time and better meals. Family vacations are best if one cultivates an attitude of detachment from outcomes. And this is most easily obtained by leaving things at home. So choose a great travel agent and cruise line and airline and pay the extra buck up front to do this. And it is crucial at this point to ASK FOR EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT UP FRONT! You will thank me and yourself many times if you do this and you will save you and your family from the stress of changing airlines or hotels (or rooms), or scuba lessons etc…. later on. So get out there as the big wide world waits and is waiting for your smiling face! And DON'T BRING YOUR TOOTHBRUSH! Well maybe you can pack your toothbrush, but LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE AT HOME!
