  Speaker 1: There is so much to choose from on aero dot
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: net a r oe dot Net. One of the most
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: popular is that voice. I've spent over ten years with
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: those who have been featured on NBC's The Voice. Listen
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to those conversations as they make their way through that competition.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: That voice only on aero dot net aarr oe dot net.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Hello and good morning. How are you
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: doing today?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I am doing well.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: How are you? Very excited to share a conversation with you?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Because you're speaking a street here that I want to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: learn more about, and I think that you are my
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: vibe to that direction. The art of stress free getaways.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I am someone who has to write the story before
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: it happens, and that does not help me being stress free.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I need you, well, I'm here to help.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I can't be the only one that's doing this. Is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that we can sit here and plan and plan and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: plan and plan, and all we do is we confuse
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that side of our personalities. I just want to enjoy.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Why are we doing this to ourselves?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's only natural. I am the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: exact same way. I like to be ultra prepared and
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: just know what I'm doing before I do it, especially
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: when you're in, you know, an unfamiliar place or you're
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: just traveling. So I feel you you know, happens to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the best of us.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I've always wondered why why is summer that one
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: time of year where everybody gets up and gets out
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: because my god, it's hot, the storms are horrible, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: yet we are brave enough to walk out there and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: we're going to take on this storm. I don't get it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I don't get it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, people often think of travel
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: as just vacations, but so many of life's biggest moments,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: like a new job, a relocation, a home renovation, maybe
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: temporary work assignment, all these things can take us away
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: from home for weeks and sometimes even months. So that's
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: why I love Windam hotels and resorts. They offer an
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: extended day brand for all different types of travelers, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you know brands like Hawthorn and Echo Suites and water
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Walk these are all designed for travelers who need more
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: than just a place to sleep while they're away, so
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: they have facious sweeps, kitchens, really thoughtful amenities like on
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: site laundry, full gyms, and smart TVs. So that way
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: guests can maintain their routines while they're away and just
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: feel more at home. And they have a bunch of
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: different offers running right now to help you save on
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: your next extended stay. So you can check out all
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of those details at Wyndamhotels dot com slash extended stay.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: See. I'm glad that you said the extended stay because
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I am hearing people say they want to do between
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: four to seven days. Some people are blessed with ten days,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: but they don't know where to go, and that to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: them confuses them. So therefore they settle, and you are
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: giving us a path. It's basically saying, don't settle anymore.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Go do what you want to do, but just extend
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: your stay.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Exactly, yes, and be comfortable while you're there for a
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: long period of time.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I do when I would go out
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and visit my daughter who was attending UCLA. Is that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we went to the extended stays all the time, because
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have to think about I don't
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: want first of all, I don't want to be treated
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: like a tourist. I want to be treated like somebody
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: who's there and so and stepping into an atmosphere like
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you're providing gives me that chance to be just as
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: human as I am back home.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, exactly.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Great information, but I want everything stress free. We're going
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to cover that coming up next when we return with
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Kelsey Griffin. A stress free summer really seriously out on
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the road, let's check back in with Kelsey Griffin. To
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: keep it stress free. That takes planning. I don't like
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to wing things, so how can we get people on
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that path of it doesn't take much to sit down
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and jot down some notes or whisper it into your smartphone.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so honestly, I mean the goal for me always
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: is to keep travel stress free, like as stress free
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: as possible, and it really comes down to these three things. So,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: first of all, comfort, I always like to travel wearing
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: layers because planes, trains, cars, they just never seem to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: be the temperature that you actually want, so layers make
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that easy. Second of all, organization, so you know, writing
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: things down in your phone and things like that. But
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a really underrated thing that I always do is I
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: actually like to keep my tech pouch and my toiletries bagged,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: just packed and ready to go at all times. So
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I have a full set of cords, adapters, chargers, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: a full set of my travel sized toiletries just stopped
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and ready to go. So that way, anytime I'm traveling,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about my absolute essentials. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: can trust that they are with me in these two
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: pre packed pouches. And then lastly, you always want to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: feel refreshed at the end of a travel day. You know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: traveling stressful, yes, and we're trying to get less stressful.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So I like to keep a few small items with
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: me in my bag, So things like a face mith,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: some lip bomb, even just some gums. Nothing too crazy,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: but these little items really do make a difference to
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: have on hand while you're having a long travel day.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Man, you just did an entire ten day stay at
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Charleston for me in the way that you know, don't
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: go there expecting to be bumpum pump, pum pum pum pump.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You've got to have that downtime and being at an
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: extended stay or being at a place where you don't
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: have to really you know, you can put away the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: tourist and just become yourself. And you're providing a place
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: where we can actually do that where we can just
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: drop that cloak and just be ourselves.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly. And then kind of on the opposite end of
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the spectrum, when you're traveling with your kids your family,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you kind of want an easy, threast free place to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: go where you don't have to think about planning too much.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: So Lego Land, Florida really is the place for that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: They have over fifty rides, shows, attractions, plus they have
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a water park, a Sea Life aquarium, and Pepepeg theme
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: parks all in one place. They also have their new
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Galaxic Coaster, which is an indoor space themed family coaster
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: where kids can customize their own spacecraft. Have their Lego
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Festival running July twentieth through August sixteenth, which has five
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: different interactive zones that are packed with build challenges and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: different live entertainment. And then they also have running June
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: eleventh through July nineteenth, the FIFA World Cup twenty twenty
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: sixth experience where kids can meet Lego versions of soccer
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: superstars like Ronaldo and Messi and they can also attempt
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: to get a life size Lego figure. And also on
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: July fourth, they have their Red, White and Boom returning
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to celebrate America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday and they're
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: going to have a really amazing fireworks show. So tons
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: of things planned for the family, all in one place,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and you can find out more at legoland dot com
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: slash Florida.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I've been with the people at Lego Land. They tell
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a great story, and you just really really made that
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: story even more authentic because they get it and it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: really does go along with when you say it, don't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: wing it. If they give you the plans on how
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you can plan out your day, then do it. Trust me,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the kids are going to enjoy it more if mom
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and dad look like they know what they're.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Doing, Yes, exactly, and you it really takes all the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: work and stress out for you. You just go and they
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: have everything planned.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So one of the big things that we have to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: face first of all, is getting there. Is is there
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a better map, a better plan on what do you
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: suggest in getting to the destination, Because I'm seeing a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: lot of stay vacations or staying home vacations and it's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: like it's like, ah ah, that's not what this nation
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: is all about. We're about to explore things. How can
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: we get there without freaking parents out.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, it really depends on your family, you know.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: You you have to trust yourself and know if your kids,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: who you're traveling with, if they're going to do better
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: in a car, if they're going to do better in
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a train, if they're going to do better on a plane.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: You know, for me, I will pick a plane every
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: time because it's just quick and easy for me because I,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you know, travel all the time. But you know, you
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: have kids, it's your first time going on a trip.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Maybe a shorter car ride is the better option, just
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to you know, test things out, test the waters, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: get them used to traveling before doing a big plane
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: ride as their first trip, you know, away from home.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: My listeners know me as an RVR. I've been on
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the road since twenty ten. The thing about it is, though,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and I need to use your language in order to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: speak to these rvrs. It's getting to be too expensive
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: for the rvrs out there now. They need a place
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: like what you're talking about, because at least you provide
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: room and a roof and something that we can trust
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: just in case the weather gets bad. Because El Nino
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: is coming and that means a lot of rain for
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the nation this year. So you're going to give us
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that path whereas the rving is, like I said, it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: getting to be too expensive. You provide affordability.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep, exactly, and that.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Is the positive step. So I've got to ask you this,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: where can people go to find out more about what
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: we're talking about? Because they're in their cars right now,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: they're at office, they're barely listening. They're going, I want
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to know. I want to know, and then now we
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: can show them where to go.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can go to Wyndamhotels dot com and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Legoland dot com for more information about what we talked
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: about today.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So are you guys doing anything with the little ones
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in the way of, you know, create a scrap book,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: do something so because I mean it's almost like I
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: want to see the pictures. I want to see the adventures.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I want to see other families doing this. So I
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: can say I want to keep up with the Joneses
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: because we're still that generation. We want to keep up
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: with the Joneses, and you're giving us something where we're going.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I got to do that too.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, with things being so digital
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: these days, it's really nice for kids to have a
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: project with physical you know, photos and things that they
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: can do. So I recommend getting one of those many printers.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: They have these mini bone printers. They're really inexpensive and
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you can just print pictures there on the spot. So
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: maybe you go on vacation, you take a bunch of
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: pictures at Lego Land. You can print them that night
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and have the kids make a little prep up the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: day to have a nighttime activity and keep them really,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: you know, preoccupied on your trip. So really every part
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: of the day is dress free.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: See how you are. See you just know you are
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that person that we need to go to all the time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, I appreciate that comment.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Well please come back to this show anytime in the future.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Ten minutes with you is just not going to be enough.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: That's why I want listeners to go to your website.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, my website. You can find me on Instagram at
• 10:30
