SPEAKER_00: Hello and welcome to Aging A for Sissies.
0:08
SPEAKER_00: My name is Marcy Backis, and I am your host.
0:12
SPEAKER_00: Hello, everyone.
0:13
SPEAKER_00: We had a beautiful day here in Chicago.
0:16
SPEAKER_00: It was nice and warm.
0:19
SPEAKER_00: I don't know how what to tell you, but it feels it hits different when it's right off of a cold day.
0:25
SPEAKER_00: Between wearing earmuffs, a scarf, and I'm in home the house, but I have shorts on.
0:31
SPEAKER_00: It's been a week, a week and a half.
0:33
SPEAKER_00: It looks like we might get a little rain right now, but wow, spring is here.
0:37
SPEAKER_00: The tulips in the city are getting ready to bloom.
0:39
SPEAKER_00: We have over 100,000 bulbs planted here every year.
0:43
SPEAKER_00: And you know how I feel about Chicago if you've never been here.
0:46
SPEAKER_00: It's one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
0:48
SPEAKER_00: Welcome.
0:49
SPEAKER_00: Come.
0:50
SPEAKER_00: It's kind of nice though.
0:51
SPEAKER_00: Tourists are leaving.
0:53
SPEAKER_00: Spring breaks are over.
0:56
SPEAKER_00: Yesterday I had a really fun day.
0:58
SPEAKER_00: My pastor's youngest son.
1:00
SPEAKER_00: Um, he's about seven.
1:02
SPEAKER_00: I took him to the Harry Potter store for his first time.
1:06
SPEAKER_00: Told him all about Harry Potter.
1:08
SPEAKER_00: It was amazing.
1:09
SPEAKER_00: It was fun.
1:10
SPEAKER_00: Then I said, Oh, why don't we over?
1:12
SPEAKER_00: We have a store right.
1:14
SPEAKER_00: The Harry Potter store is right on the corner of where I live.
1:16
SPEAKER_00: And then a half a block up is It's Sugar.
1:19
SPEAKER_00: So we went to It's Sugar and I got myself, what are these?
1:22
SPEAKER_00: My favorite thing in the world.
1:24
SPEAKER_00: These are called um sizzling cinnamon jawbreakers.
1:29
SPEAKER_00: Hot cinnamon jawbreakers.
1:31
SPEAKER_00: Love them.
1:32
SPEAKER_00: Took it out so that I could talk to you on this podcast.
1:36
SPEAKER_00: What else is going on?
1:37
SPEAKER_00: Life is just normal.
1:38
SPEAKER_00: Leaving in a few weeks to go to for a weekend to see my great nephew Chris and my son Alec.
1:44
SPEAKER_00: And looking forward to that.
1:47
SPEAKER_00: Hopefully, we'll see Alec's girlfriend Sharon while we're there and his dog Mango.
1:53
SPEAKER_00: But uh yeah, life is kind of normal.
1:55
SPEAKER_00: It's really kind of enjoyable.
1:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh, what else is going on?
2:02
SPEAKER_00: Not much, not much.
2:04
SPEAKER_00: Just regular life, which you know sometimes is just enough.
2:07
SPEAKER_00: It's just enough.
2:09
SPEAKER_00: Somebody was asking me what my next trips are and uh going to Alex.
2:14
SPEAKER_00: Then in July, we always go to California, and then August, I always go to Arizona, and then we'll take September off, and October we will go to France.
2:28
SPEAKER_00: So those are the things that are coming up, and it got me thinking about travel and how travel should not exhaust you.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: So today's episode is going to be travel should not exhaust you.
2:43
SPEAKER_00: You know, that's how I come up with my fabulous ideas for these podcasts.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: It's things that go through my own head and definitely have a lot of things coming up.
2:54
SPEAKER_00: Um tomorrow, Craig and I are going to the theater, um, the um Lyric Opera House.
3:01
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna see Mary Poppins on the screen and they're gonna play the music and talk about it, and that should be fun.
3:06
SPEAKER_00: The next day, Craig and I are going with my friend Joan, and we're going to see Ma Rainey's Black Bottom at the Goodman Theater, and then out to dinner.
3:14
SPEAKER_00: And then what else?
3:15
SPEAKER_00: The following week, we have a gala on Friday and a concert on the following Saturday.
3:21
SPEAKER_00: So if you wonder why I love my life here in Chicago, those are some of the many reasons why I love my life here.
3:27
SPEAKER_00: It's active and busy and exciting and all kinds of things.
3:32
SPEAKER_00: But those vacations should not exhaust you.
3:35
SPEAKER_00: If you come home from a trip needing a vacation from your vacation, you did it wrong.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: And I say that with love.
3:41
SPEAKER_00: Now, I have done many vacations right, and I've done them wrong.
3:46
SPEAKER_00: But I thought it would be fun to share really how to do a good vacation.
3:52
SPEAKER_00: Now we were taught pack everything, do everything, see everything, and don't miss anything.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: And now we're tired.
4:01
SPEAKER_00: At this stage of life, travel should be different.
4:03
SPEAKER_00: You it should start to be different.
4:06
SPEAKER_00: And if it's not, and if you can do it all great, and you don't come home exhausted, good for you.
4:12
SPEAKER_00: I can't.
4:13
SPEAKER_00: Now, Craig can.
4:15
SPEAKER_00: So when we get into this, I'll explain to you how we do that.
4:18
SPEAKER_00: So at this stage of life, travel should feel like ease, comfort, enjoyment, not survival.
4:26
SPEAKER_00: So everything we're talking about today is making travel feel good.
4:32
SPEAKER_00: So the first thing, and we did it, I did a podcast on this.
4:35
SPEAKER_00: The first thing is packing hacks.
4:37
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna give you a few.
4:41
SPEAKER_00: Because packing is where it all begins.
4:44
SPEAKER_00: So the first rule is you don't need as much as you think you do.
4:48
SPEAKER_00: I know, I know, but what if I need it?
4:51
SPEAKER_00: You won't.
4:53
SPEAKER_00: And if you do, you'll buy it.
4:54
SPEAKER_00: You'll be fine.
4:57
SPEAKER_00: Now, the first hack I want to give you is I can't, because I can't do visuals.
5:02
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna tell you to go online on Instagram or what's the one, Pinterest, and put in Sudoku packing method.
5:12
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna try this method, my personal self for my next trip.
5:15
SPEAKER_00: So check it out.
5:17
SPEAKER_00: But let's talk about it.
5:20
SPEAKER_00: Pack outfits, not options.
5:22
SPEAKER_00: Stop packing random pieces, plan actual outfits and three tops, two random pants.
5:31
SPEAKER_00: Just nothing that matches.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: You don't want to do that because that's how you end up if you're you're doing it random.
5:38
SPEAKER_00: But plan an outfit.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: And and that's what that Sudoku packing method is.
5:44
SPEAKER_00: It's it's a really great idea.
5:45
SPEAKER_00: Really look it up.
5:46
SPEAKER_00: I think you'll be pleased.
5:47
SPEAKER_00: I I'll put a link on my pot on my um website, marcybackusmedia.com.
5:55
SPEAKER_00: I'll put a link to the Sudoku packing method there.
6:01
SPEAKER_00: Stop bringing that just in case.
6:05
SPEAKER_00: Instead of packing your whole life just in case, just bring one extra outfit.
6:10
SPEAKER_00: So if you're packing in outfits and you need a just in case, make that an outfit.
6:18
SPEAKER_00: Okay, one backup option.
6:21
SPEAKER_00: That's it.
6:23
SPEAKER_00: That's it.
6:24
SPEAKER_00: We're not packing for every possible scenario.
6:28
SPEAKER_00: And I want you to think about all your traveling.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: How many times did you come home and have only worn half of what was in there?
6:37
SPEAKER_00: Think about it.
6:39
SPEAKER_00: We are not preparing for every fashion emergency.
6:45
SPEAKER_00: And the number one thing, shoes will betray you.
6:49
SPEAKER_00: Do not bring shoes you haven't worn before.
6:52
SPEAKER_00: This is how vacations get ruined.
6:55
SPEAKER_00: Comfort, cute every time.
6:58
SPEAKER_00: Comfort, cute every time.
7:01
SPEAKER_00: I'm telling you.
7:03
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
7:07
SPEAKER_00: All right.
7:08
SPEAKER_00: So that's packing.
7:09
SPEAKER_00: And if you I have other podcasts inside Marcy's mind and this one where I've talked about packing, go back and find those.
7:17
SPEAKER_00: Um, airport sanity.
7:19
SPEAKER_00: This is where people lose it.
7:20
SPEAKER_00: And losing it before you start a vacation is not okay.
7:24
SPEAKER_00: So let's talk about airports where patients go to die.
7:30
SPEAKER_00: I don't care.
7:31
SPEAKER_00: Build in cushion time.
7:33
SPEAKER_00: I would rather be at the airport extra early than sitting on my couch at home worrying about getting to the airport.
7:40
SPEAKER_00: Now, Craig and I have privileges for the lounges.
7:45
SPEAKER_00: If you don't, look into getting them with your credit cards.
7:48
SPEAKER_00: Look into having lounge access is key.
7:51
SPEAKER_00: If you don't, that's fine.
7:52
SPEAKER_00: Find a quiet place to decompress before you get on the plane.
7:58
SPEAKER_00: Nothing ruins a trip faster than starting it already annoyed.
8:02
SPEAKER_00: And if you get, if you've never been in a lounge for American Airlines or Experian or any of them, I'm not gonna lie, they're wonderful.
8:10
SPEAKER_00: Everything in there is free.
8:11
SPEAKER_00: You get food, you can grab a few snacks for the plane, you can fill up your water bottle, you can, it's the best.
8:19
SPEAKER_00: It's the best.
8:20
SPEAKER_00: You can get your coffee in the morning before you get it, you don't have to sit in the line at Starbucks.
8:25
SPEAKER_00: If you travel a lot, it's worth it.
8:27
SPEAKER_00: Find out which credit cards give you that access and use those credit cards.
8:36
SPEAKER_00: All right.
8:36
SPEAKER_00: Snacks solve everything.
8:38
SPEAKER_00: I don't care what anyone says, bring snacks.
8:41
SPEAKER_00: I always have snacks.
8:43
SPEAKER_00: They don't have to be big stinky snacks, little snacks, snack bags, a little snack of MMs, something, some cheese.
8:51
SPEAKER_00: It's not gonna go bad in your backpack while you're flying.
8:55
SPEAKER_00: Some almond, something.
8:57
SPEAKER_00: Have it.
8:59
SPEAKER_00: This is not optional.
9:01
SPEAKER_00: Delays happen, food options can be questionable.
9:05
SPEAKER_00: And hanger, being hangry is real.
9:10
SPEAKER_00: So we're talking about how to have good trips.
9:13
SPEAKER_00: Make sure you have snacks.
9:16
SPEAKER_00: Bring your own empty water bottle, fill it on the other side.
9:20
SPEAKER_00: Don't pay for the because nothing makes you madder than paying$10 for a bottle of water.
9:27
SPEAKER_00: Okay, make your carry-on work for you, not against you.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: Your carry-on should feel like a little safety net, not your main packing.
9:37
SPEAKER_00: You should have your medications in there or at least a few days' worth.
9:41
SPEAKER_00: If you're going on a long trip, if you don't want it all, make sure you have your charger.
9:46
SPEAKER_00: You have something comfortable you can change into in case something happens.
9:52
SPEAKER_00: And the main thing is you need to use it.
9:55
SPEAKER_00: I finally have broken down and bought myself an iPad because of traveling, because I'm sick of watching movies on my phone.
10:02
SPEAKER_00: I want to watch them.
10:03
SPEAKER_00: I got an 11 by 11-inch iPad, very happy with it.
10:07
SPEAKER_00: It's super light, and it's mainly for traveling, so I can watch things on it.
10:15
SPEAKER_00: Make sure you have your headphones, make sure everything's charged before you leave the house.
10:21
SPEAKER_00: And again, your carry-on should be light.
10:25
SPEAKER_00: And that's your ex like your backpack carry-on, not your suitcase.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: I don't travel with anything bigger than a carry-on.
10:32
SPEAKER_00: If I travel alone, it gets checked because I can't lift it over my head.
10:36
SPEAKER_00: If I'm traveling with Craig, it goes on the plane.
10:38
SPEAKER_00: And then my little backpack goes under the seat in front of me.
10:41
SPEAKER_00: Bing, bang, boom.
10:43
SPEAKER_00: Do not carry a purse.
10:44
SPEAKER_00: Whatever I'm going to use as a purse goes into that backpack under the seat in front of me.
10:49
SPEAKER_00: I have two items that I have to keep track of.
10:51
SPEAKER_00: That's it.
10:52
SPEAKER_00: My purse is usually a lightweight crossbody, and that fits right into my backpack while I'm getting on the plane.
10:59
SPEAKER_00: You can only have two items.
11:02
SPEAKER_00: Make it easy, people.
11:03
SPEAKER_00: If you're already making it difficult with the packing and what you're bringing on, you're going to be miserable.
11:10
SPEAKER_00: All right.
11:11
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
11:12
SPEAKER_00: So let me, we're, we're going to we're going to take a quick break and I'm going to talk about what I'm not doing anymore.
11:20
SPEAKER_00: All right.
11:20
SPEAKER_00: It's time for our segment.
11:21
SPEAKER_00: I'm not doing this anymore.
11:23
SPEAKER_00: And this week, I am not making traveling harder than it needs to be.
11:27
SPEAKER_00: I am not number one, overpacking.
11:29
SPEAKER_00: I am not number two over planning.
11:31
SPEAKER_00: And I'm number three, I am not trying to do everything.
11:36
SPEAKER_00: I'm not turning a trip into a checklist.
11:39
SPEAKER_00: I'm not coming home exhausted, like I just completed a project.
11:44
SPEAKER_00: Nope.
11:44
SPEAKER_00: I am traveling to enjoy my life.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: And if something doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.
11:49
SPEAKER_00: Because peace of mind is officially part of the itinerary.
11:53
SPEAKER_00: So that's it for this week.
11:55
SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to continue telling you how I'm going to do that.
12:00
SPEAKER_00: All right.
12:02
SPEAKER_00: We've talked about packing, we've talked about airports, we've talked about all that.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: Hotel tricks that change everything.
12:08
SPEAKER_00: Hotels can either make or break your trip.
12:11
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
12:12
SPEAKER_00: And we pick hotels for many different reasons.
12:16
SPEAKER_00: Unpack a little.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: If you're going to be there a couple days, unpack a little.
12:21
SPEAKER_00: I cannot unpack a lot just because that's how I travel.
12:25
SPEAKER_00: I travel with packing cubes.
12:27
SPEAKER_00: I prefer to keep my things in my packing cubes.
12:29
SPEAKER_00: Craig hangs up everything.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: Whatever works for you, do it.
12:33
SPEAKER_00: You're not living out of a suitcase like a fugitive.
12:36
SPEAKER_00: And so I don't live out of my suitcase.
12:38
SPEAKER_00: I pop my packing cubes in the dresser.
12:41
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
12:42
SPEAKER_00: Simple.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: If it's one night, do not do that.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: I do not do that.
12:45
SPEAKER_00: But for any two nights or more, I do.
12:50
SPEAKER_00: Another great thing about a hotel is create a drop zone.
12:53
SPEAKER_00: Pick one spot in the room for keys, glasses, phone, purse.
12:58
SPEAKER_00: Usually it's the little table.
13:02
SPEAKER_00: Because otherwise you're tearing the room up every morning, every freaking morning.
13:07
SPEAKER_00: If you have the option to get the hotel key on your phone, on the app, do it.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: Make sure, this is another hack.
13:15
SPEAKER_00: Make sure you download an app for every hotel that you're going to be in, for every airline you're going to be on, for your rental car.
13:22
SPEAKER_00: You should have the app for everything because the app always makes things better.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: I have been trying to get this through Craig's head.
13:30
SPEAKER_00: I have all the apps.
13:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm the one that does everything.
13:32
SPEAKER_00: I wish he would too.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: You can put the key to your room on the app.
13:37
SPEAKER_00: Click, you push a button, it unlocks your door.
13:40
SPEAKER_00: You don't even have to have those dang keys.
13:44
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so remember create that drop zone.
13:50
SPEAKER_00: Make things comfortable.
13:52
SPEAKER_00: Pack your slippers.
13:54
SPEAKER_00: For God's sakes, pack your slippers or a light robe.
13:57
SPEAKER_00: I like to have slippers in my hotel with me.
14:00
SPEAKER_00: I don't like to walk on their floors and stuff.
14:02
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I do because I forget these things, but slippers, slippers, slippers.
14:08
SPEAKER_00: Adjust the lighting, adjust the temperature, adjust the pillows.
14:13
SPEAKER_00: Little things make a big difference.
14:15
SPEAKER_00: This is your space for a few days.
14:17
SPEAKER_00: Make it feel like it.
14:21
SPEAKER_00: Honestly, do your best.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: Do your best.
14:27
SPEAKER_00: Like figure out what in that room is going to make it comfortable for you and do it.
14:31
SPEAKER_00: I the one thing I hate, I hate how tight they make the bed.
14:35
SPEAKER_00: Lynn will tell you, I go around and I rip those sheets out from that tight tuck-in.
14:40
SPEAKER_00: Just because they tucked it in doesn't mean you have to sleep like that, people.
14:44
SPEAKER_00: Like you're pinned down.
14:46
SPEAKER_00: If you don't undo those sheets, what's wrong with you?
14:49
SPEAKER_00: How could you sleep?
14:50
SPEAKER_00: You can't point your toes up.
14:52
SPEAKER_00: How do you do that?
14:54
SPEAKER_00: So make the room comfortable.
14:55
SPEAKER_00: If it means bringing a pillowcase from home and putting that over the pillow, do that.
15:00
SPEAKER_00: A pillowcase does not take up much room.
15:04
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to give up a whole outfit for a pillowcase, people.
15:07
SPEAKER_00: Anyways, make things comfortable.
15:10
SPEAKER_00: All right, here's another quick pause because I want to make sure you know where else you can find me.
15:14
SPEAKER_00: If you're loving this conversation, I've got two other podcasts you need to check out.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: Inside Marcy's Mind, where we talk about life hacks, real life situations, and all things that I'm thinking about that week.
15:26
SPEAKER_00: We're all trying to figure out, but nobody else is saying out loud.
15:29
SPEAKER_00: One of this week on Inside Marcy's Mind, I am doing a quick tutorial on the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
15:37
SPEAKER_00: Totally in a fun way, not a classroom way.
15:40
SPEAKER_00: Please listen.
15:41
SPEAKER_00: Do you know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence?
15:45
SPEAKER_00: Do you remember what you learned in school?
15:47
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to make it fun.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: We're going to talk about it.
15:49
SPEAKER_00: And then there's unbottled, which is all about sobriety, real talk, and what it actually looks like to change your life.
15:57
SPEAKER_00: If you're sober, listen.
15:58
SPEAKER_00: If you're not sober, listen.
16:00
SPEAKER_00: And if you think you need to be sober, listen.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: It's a great podcast.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: I'm really proud of it.
16:05
SPEAKER_00: And of course, everything lives over on my website.
16:08
SPEAKER_00: So you can keep up with all of it in one place.
16:11
SPEAKER_00: And that's Marcybacchusmedia.com.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: Marcybacchusmedia.com.
16:17
SPEAKER_00: And also email me at Marcybackusmedia at gmail.com.
16:22
SPEAKER_00: All right, that's it.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: My commercial's over.
16:24
SPEAKER_00: Let's move on.
16:26
SPEAKER_00: To making traveling enjoyable.
16:29
SPEAKER_00: The number one thing you need to think about is safety and comfort.
16:33
SPEAKER_00: Trust your gut.
16:34
SPEAKER_00: If something feels off, it probably is.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: You don't need to be polite at the expense of your own safety.
16:39
SPEAKER_00: If you get on an elevator and it feels uncomfortable, get off.
16:43
SPEAKER_00: If you're walking down the street and it feels uncomfortable, turn around and walk right into it and walk past it.
16:50
SPEAKER_00: Move, duck into a store.
16:52
SPEAKER_00: I now have one of those personal alarms that clips onto my um crossbody.
16:58
SPEAKER_00: I'm not afraid to use it.
17:01
SPEAKER_00: Are you afraid you're gonna hurt somebody's feelings?
17:04
SPEAKER_00: Who cares?
17:05
SPEAKER_00: You don't know them.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: I have always been a proponent.
17:09
SPEAKER_00: Trust your gut.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: Okay, don't over-schedule.
17:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
17:16
SPEAKER_00: Don't leave space.
17:17
SPEAKER_00: Leave space in your schedule because there's gonna be that random cafe, that unexpected walk, the conversation you have with someone.
17:24
SPEAKER_00: You miss those when you book every minute of the day.
17:29
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
17:30
SPEAKER_00: Rest is a real part of the trip.
17:32
SPEAKER_00: Now, Craig does not believe that.
17:34
SPEAKER_00: So we have, after years, Craig and I travel really well together.
17:39
SPEAKER_00: Craig has no problem going to a museum alone, walking a city alone, going out and and doing things.
17:46
SPEAKER_00: It's come in handy because honestly, on the last two trips, I've gotten sick.
17:51
SPEAKER_00: I got sick on a river cruise.
17:54
SPEAKER_00: When we landed in Amsterdam, I needed to spend time in bed, and Craig went out and did things, and I have no problem with that.
18:01
SPEAKER_00: I got up and did things when I could, and when I couldn't, I went back to the room and he continued doing things.
18:06
SPEAKER_00: He's great at that.
18:08
SPEAKER_00: Um, and in Ireland, I left here sick with a cold.
18:13
SPEAKER_00: And when we got there after days of traveling, I needed to lay down and rest and recoup and get my act together.
18:19
SPEAKER_00: And he went out and did his own thing.
18:23
SPEAKER_00: So make sure you leave time.
18:26
SPEAKER_00: Rest is important.
18:28
SPEAKER_00: Build in rest.
18:29
SPEAKER_00: And if your um traveling partner doesn't want to rest, by all means, let them go out and do their thing.
18:36
SPEAKER_00: You can't have a grudge, though, I'll tell you that much.
18:39
SPEAKER_00: And I never do.
18:40
SPEAKER_00: When Craig goes out and does his thing, I am grateful because I know I don't have the same stamina.
18:48
SPEAKER_00: Travel should no longer be about doing the most, proving something, checking boxes.
18:53
SPEAKER_00: It should be strictly about enjoying yourself, being comfortable, actually experiencing where you are.
19:00
SPEAKER_00: It's about enjoying yourself, being comfortable, actually experiencing where you are.
19:05
SPEAKER_00: And honestly, it makes it so much better.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I have had three phone calls during this podcast.
19:12
SPEAKER_00: I am doing my best to cut it together well.
19:14
SPEAKER_00: I hope it has worked out.
19:16
SPEAKER_00: If I've repeated something, I'm sorry, but I'm doing my best here.
19:19
SPEAKER_00: There's people that I need to talk to.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: Anyways, in closing, I just want to say so if travel has started to feel harder than it should, maybe it's not traveling.
19:30
SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's how we've been doing it.
19:32
SPEAKER_00: Simplify it, lighten it, and enjoy it because around here we're not aging quietly, we're aging intentionally.
19:40
SPEAKER_00: I want to thank you as always for spending this time with me.
19:44
SPEAKER_00: If this episode made you laugh, rethink how you travel or finally decide to stop overpacking, which I I'm working on you guys.
19:52
SPEAKER_00: Make sure you follow, share it with a friend, and come back next week because we've got a lot more life to live, and we're not going to do it.
20:01
SPEAKER_00: And I can't even get this right.
20:03
SPEAKER_00: And we're going to do it our way.
20:05
SPEAKER_00: I'll see you next time.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: Have a great week.
20:07
SPEAKER_00: Be positive.
20:08
SPEAKER_00: Go out and enjoy the world.
