Cow Patty To Travel Patty - The Awards
So what else is new? I’m going to buck the system. This time of year my Travel Blog buddies are coming up with “travel resolutions for 2014” and...
Where I really let myself down on New Year's resolutions is what I'm eating and how much I weigh. Ugh. By the end of August I had lost 10 pounds and right now I've put it all back on again. So I guess the good news is I don't have to worry about gaining more weight if I make a resolution to lose that 10 pounds I recently found.
With travel, though, it "should" be easier. We travel with a purpose, even if the purpose is to have fun or simply get a tan.
I saw an article entitled 21 Travel Resolutions for 2014 in the Huffington Post. I could only find 19 resolutions in the article and I went over it twice. So I'm listing them out for you here and inviting you to get us to 21 (or more)!
These 19 are great, and worthy of anyone's attention. But the one that resonated with me the most was to stop using Yelp. If travelers only knew "behind the scenes" of reviews. These are the bane of my existence. Travel reviews cheapen the experience because some of the things you like, I'm not going to like. And there are simpletons out there who will only follow the crowds and shun an establishment (any establishment) that doesn't have a great rating on Yelp or a very positive review online. If you are a travel pro, get a travel show on CNN. Otherwise? Keep your opinions to yourself, please.
