Lisa and I began traveling the world before Airbnb, All Inclusives and Crafted Tours. We were non-scripted travelers, seat of the pants travelers, figure it out as we go travelers. As a result, we have had many unforgettable experiences that we never would have had otherwise.
Once in Athens, Greece we met a man from Texas who told us about an island off the coast that he planned to visit. He had researched every step between here and there and even had a hotel reserved. Lisa and I tagged along because we had already visited the Acropolis and had nothing else planned. Surprise, surprise his hotel was twice as expensive as what we found walking in off the street. And their AC was out.
Not being as young as we used to be, we now make hotel reservations, but still plan little else and prefer to explore on our own.
This past Wednesday, while waiting in the airport for our flight home from our trip to Queretaro, México, I received a text from my brother informing me that he was coming for a visit. (He lives in Florida and we live in Mexico.) “See you Friday.” Now that’s unscripted travel!

I agree with you about unscripted traveling. That was always my favorite kind. Enjoy your visit with your brother! Any idea how long he’s staying?

i had fallen previously on an escalator at SeaTac – and the part that was bone deep is not healing well…and got worse, infection serious ☹️ So i had to be seen and find a way to stay sane during 12 hours without any distraction (did my meditation background EVER help!) I am now in Umbria at a country villa with my son Andy and his husband Luc – peaceful and beautiful. And with antibiotics …!
i think of you and Lisa and alice often – and i would so love to be your neighbors for more than a couple of weeks…do you think you’ll move to Queretaro? it looks lovely…please give my love to Lisa and Alice – abrazos 😊
