This advice couldn't have come at a better time. I'm planning a trip to Colombia, it's the first one out of the country in years. If I had my way I swear I'd take a bus or a ship from Michigan to Medellin but that isn't happening. I despise flying due to all you mentioned. Not a thing I can do about it, except plan an extra day to and from to defrag the inconveniences. Great article.

That sounds so exciting! Just focus on the being there as you do your best to endure the flying part. I’ve also padded my travel time in the last 5-6 years- especially connection times - to help reduce the stress any way I can. Treat yourself to that extra day after flying where you can decompress, and then have a fantastic time!

Great pointers Sally. I can't believe you've been on a boat in the Nile. Amazing and the picture is simply gorgeous.

I love exploring the world and all corners of our own country, too!
