A5: To prepare yourself for travel challenges or misadventures be aware of alternative options in advance; easier to then take prompt action in necessity.

#trlt A5: I don't think I have any? Just ... try to learn to not be so much of a control freak, maybe? Which is definitely hard, especially for someone like me. Even despite my last-minute changes of direction and lack of planning!

@LindaPeters64 @StuartMHurlbut @postcardsplaces For sure, but hey, that's traveling, things happen. :)
Like once in Thailand, just chilling by the pool when a snake fell on the chest of my spouse from the tree above him, luckily he reacted fast and swept it away. We got a photo of it and heard it's poisonous.

A5 I created a @Look_Up_ which reminds us all to 1) Be in the moment & 2) Find the upside of all misadventures, life's hurdles, and hiccups. You can read about it here: https://t.co/1AP4hynhTy #TRLT #lookup #inspiration

I believe too many travel problems result from travellers naively expecting everything to go perfectly & not for example padding itinerariesātoo short connections, booking Ryanair, which wonāt endorse its tickets to others when flights cancelled, etc. when MUST be somewhere #TRLT

replying to @BlueBagRedBag @BlueBagRedBag yes. Or even a paper map - one that requires no batteries and which you can write on. #trlt

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 A5: Plenty of room on a credit card for emergencies. Lots of deep breaths and as much patience as possible. In hot/dry places, LOTS of cold water and mint lifesavers (sugar hit, keeps mouth moist), bandanas and a first-aid kit. Maps, language help. Resilience and humor! #trlt
