 This week's "Travel Tip" is buy a SCOTTeVEST! Pickpockets are EVERYWHERE in Europe. You must protect yourself. Rick Steves recommends the money belt, but I think that's one of the rare cases when he's wrong. Of course, he's still right in theory, but a SCOTTeVEST is a far superior product, it's more comfortable to wear, and it's more stylish. SCOTTeVEST is the expert, so instead of me rambling on, just go learn about it here: https://www.scottevest.com/SFNT.html. (Lest you think I don't practice what I preach, scroll down to see a photo of me in London wearing my very own SCOTTeVEST!)
  In almost all of our travel photos, you'll see me wearing my SCOTTeVEST
or Laura wearing her SCOTTeVEST or both of us wearing our SCOTTeVESTs!

This week's "Travel Tip" is don't cheat your feet! When it comes to your feet, DO NOT skimp out! If there's one article of clothing that's vital to the success of your trip, it's your shoes. Just bite the bullet and dig deep into your wallet. But, it's not just about spending money. It's about buying right! As is often the case, my wisdom came at a price. I was stupid once and learned from my mistakes. Now you are the beneficiary. Like that old saying... "Good Judgment Depends Mostly on Experience, And Experience Usually Comes From Poor Judgment." To make my long Washington, D.C. story short, suffice it to say that I paid a lot of money for the wrong type of shoes and my feet were absolutely killing me the entire time! Fast forward to England and, armed with the experience of my poor judgment, I made a wiser decision. I Googled and learned. Then I went to REI, got help, and bought the right pair of shoes for my feet and for the type of walking I'd be doing. It made a world of difference! I don't want to offer specific advice because everyone's needs are different, but I will ask you to consider the temperature and precipitation in your destination, as well as the weight of the shoe. Consider also getting a shoe that rises above your ankle. That said, any further advice I'll let you get from the professionals.  When it's time to #pack for your #vacation, what sort of packer are you? Too much, too little, or just right? #Travel #packing is a science and art - the more #trips you take, the better you'll become at it. Give a listen to our EA Radio episode all about travel packing. Then, let's chat about it! Tell us in the comments below.  |
