WEBVTT - Second Cup: You can go a long way in a weekend

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning.

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>tip is that you can go a long ways in

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>a weekend if you'd like to see something or see someone,

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>you might not need to take time off work. You

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>won't stay as long as you would like, but that

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>might still be true even if you stayed for weeks.

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Today's episode was inspired by a few recent trips I

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.520
<v Speaker 1>have taken. My family needed to drop one kit off

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>in Cape cod for the week, and so we drove

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>all the way up there on Saturday morning from Philadelphia,

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and then drove all the way home on Sunday afternoon

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:58.639
<v Speaker 1>and evening. This was a lot of driving, but despite

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>doing about seven hours of travel both days, not including stops,

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>we survived. If you draw a seven hour radius around

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>your house, or think about seven hours of travel time,

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing you could get to a lot of places.

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>We could have taken a three and a half or

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>even four hour flight. Somewhere which is long enough to

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>get to Denver from Philadelphia, Florida or places in Canada

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>could all be weekend destinations by that definition. Now, I

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>am not saying I would want to do this every weekend.

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>But we spent a fun twenty four hours in Massachusetts,

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>and probably twenty four hours of fun would be possible,

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>and lots of other places as well. We have recently

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>talked on this podcast about how lots of people want

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>to travel more. One common obstacle is that people don't

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of time off work. They also feel

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>like they have to wait for the kids to be

0:01:54.920 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>on vacation from school. But weekends are vacations that happen

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>every week. It might be possible to fly somewhere Friday

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>after work and fly back Sunday, or you drive somewhere

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Saturday morning, enjoy a day there and drive home. Would

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>it be better to stay longer, certainly, But the upside

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of a weekend trip is that you might be able

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to do it again before too long, whereas if you

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>are waiting for a week long break from school and work,

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>you might be waiting for a long time. I am

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>a fan of trips that actually happen, so think about

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>where you would be able to go in a weekend.

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>My guess is that there is a lot you could

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>see and a lot of people you could visit, even

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 1>without using your PTO. Perhaps it won't be the most

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>relaxing weekend ever, but what are you saving that energy

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.679
<v Speaker 1>for a little weekend adventure just might shake things up

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>in a good way. In the meantime, This is Laura.
