WEBVTT - 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 --> 0:00:16.599
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>tip is that you.

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Can go a long ways in a weekend if you'd

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 2>like to see something or see someone, you might not

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 2>need to take time off work. You won't stay as

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 2>long as you would like, but that might still be

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 2>true even if you stayed for weeks. Today's episode was

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>inspired by a few recent trips I have taken. My

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 2>family needed to drop one kid off in Cape cod

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 2>for the week, and so we drove all the way

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>up there on Saturday morning from Philadelphia, and then drove

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>all the way home on Sunday afternoon and evening. This

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 2>was a lot of driving, but despite doing about seven

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>hours of travel both days, not including stops, we survived.

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 2>If you draw a seven hour radius around your house,

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.919
<v Speaker 2>or think about seven hours of travel time, I'm guessing

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 2>you could get to a lot of places. We could

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 2>have taken a three and a half or even four

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 2>hour flight. Somewhere which is long enough to get to

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Denver from.

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia, Florida or places in Canada could all be weekend

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 1>destinations by that definition. Now, I am not saying I

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>would want to do this every weekend. But we spent

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.199
<v Speaker 1>a fun twenty four hours in Massachusetts, and probably twenty

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>four hours of fun would be possible, and lots of

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>other places as well. We have recently talked on this

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.839
<v Speaker 1>podcast about how lots of people want to travel more.

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>One common obstacle is that people don't get a lot

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>of time off work. They also feel like they have

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to wait for the kids to be on vacation from school.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>But weekends are vacations that happen every week. It might

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>be possible to fly somewhere Friday after work and fly

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>back Sunday, or you drive somewhere Saturday morning, enjoy a

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>day there and drive home. Would it be better to

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>stay longer, certainly, But the upside of a weekend trip

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>is that you might be able to do it again

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>before too long, whereas if you are waiting for a

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>week long break from school and work, you might be

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>waiting for a long time. I am a fan of

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>trips that actually happen, so think about where you would

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>be able to go in a weekend. My guess is

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>that there is a lot you could see and a

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of people you could visit, even without using your PTO.

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps it won't be the most relaxing week end evor,

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>but what are you saving that energy for a little

0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>weekend adventure just might shake things up in a good way.

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, This is Laura. Thanks for listening, and
