Travel is fun. You go new places, have new experiences,
visit old favorites and just chill out. It can be reasonable in its costs or it
can be as extravagant as you want. I just read short piece in a well-known
travel magazine about skin care. As many of you know, I have been a boat
captain for over 45 years. On the water usually for ten to twelve hours a day
and I never, ever, never ever used lip balm thatcost eighteen dollars
a tube! How stupid do have to be to fall for that kind of crap? Are you
kiddingme? It’s frigging beeswax and maybe lanolin or some other tiny amount
of another ingredient. Askany of the
girls I’ve kissed over the years and I would bet that not one of them ever
thought, “I don’tthink I’ll kiss him anymore. His lips are so rough. I wish he’d
use that really stupid expensive lip balm.” Get yourself some Blistex Lip Balm
and be done with it. Works great and it’s not very expensive. Or the next bit
in the article that said to use skin cleanser to get the sand out of your skin.
Out of your skin? How big are your pores?
Plus you cannot believe everything you read in high end
magazines. They quite often get their facts wrong and they don’t take kindly to
being corrected. Example, one recent article said that they only way to get to
the Dry Tortugas off the Florida Keys was by boat. Not true, there are several
airplanes that fly out to the Fort on a regular basis. Such as this service: Seaplane
Fancy rooms are nice, such as those at the Breakers in Palm Beach. But I’ve spent
many a quality night in La Quinta Inns
at very good rate. I rather have the money to go out and run around and do
stuff. Yes, I know that are certain unidentifiable “perks” of staying a high
end hotel, but if you want to travel a lot and you have to work for a living,
you can expand your horizons by staying in a lower priced room.
I’m going to add to this article as I go along in the next
few weeks.
