[Nfbmt] traveling

[Rebecca Stewart]

LOL.  Joy, as usual, you're a riot.  You are absolutely right with your tips
for being a safe travelor. I can't imagine living my life at home all the
time although that is how I lived before I met Randi.  About five years into
our marriage, my sister called me from Great Falls.  She was in the hospital
and none of the rest of the family would come and see her so she asked me to
come visit her.  At first I was scared to go by myself, could I really do
it?  Then I thought back to the last time I had taken the bus by myself,
back in the early 90's when I was a student at the deaf and blind school in
Great Falls and I would take the bus to Havre to see my family on the
weekends.  I remembered how much fun it had been so I decided to try it
again.  That experience of taking the bus to Great Falls from here so many
years ago began a strong love of traveling for me.  Since then, I travel
whenever I get the chance.  My only problem is that I have trouble deciding
where to go so I usually don't travel unless someone suggests a trip or I am
invited somewhere, that is why I wound up going to Denver for the CCB
anniversary celebration.  I never would have thought of going to Denver on
my own, there was nothing there to interest me as far as I knew. The more
one travels, the more confidence one aquires. Now, I travel out of state all
the time as well as taking the bus in state.  I go to Florida often, usually
with girl friends just so I haved someone to hang out with while I'm in Ft.
OLauderdale but I've been thinking about going to Ft.  Lauderdale by myself.
I've been there so many times now, I have made friends in Ft.  Lauderdale
who I could hang out with when I'm there by myself.  Plus, I love the
sunshine and the beaches.

I personally love to travel.  My dad instilled a love for traveling in me
when I was a child and on a whim we would hop in the car of a Sunday
afternoon and take a back road just to see where it went, and then get an
ice cream cone on the way home.  I think if you are careful and don't take
unnecessary chances, don't deliberately put yourself in risky situations,
are aware of your surroundings and who is near you, don't travel alone at
night in unfamiliar places, keep your street smarts about you, and watch
what you carry with you and whether you appear confident or vulnerable, you
can maximize your chances of traveling safely.  It also doesn't hurt to know
Who has your back.  

 

Joy, rich world traveler in her mind
