Sometimes you overthink and you spoil it for yourself.
I’ve enjoyed Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel for a long time. Apparently, I’m not the only one. I think everyone that was at the Dallas Adventure and Travel Expo on Sunday was there for the same reason. She filled the 300 or so seats and had people standing to listen.
She speaks as well live as she does on her show. She talked about her various TV series and learning to travel while learning to do the show. She gave some advice that my wife and I both think will be very useful. The first was to bring ear plugs and wear them in the airport. It helps cut down on the noise and you can still hear the announcements. It’s a cheap replacement for a Bose headset and you don’t need batteries or a recharger.
The second recommendation was bring some tennis ball size squishy balls. I think tennis balls might just work. She puts them on the floor and lies on them and uses them to work out the stress in her back and feet.
