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!
