WEBVTT - Maximum memories, minimum time

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura, Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>tip is that a one night getaway is still worth doing. Yes,

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>you might do a lot of planning for the amount

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of time you get, but making memories requires intensity, not duration.

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>If you've got a busy life, multiple one night getaways

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 1>might be the best way to have a lot of adventures.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>For many years, The New York Times has run a

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>series called thirty six Hours, as in thirty six hours

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 1>in Philadelphia or thirty six Hours in London. The idea

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>is that even if you don't have days off work,

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you can fit in a lot during a trip to

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>a destination. Fly somewhere two hours away on Friday night,

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>fly back on Sunday, and you can still have quite

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>an adventure. This is true, and you can experience quite

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a bit in twenty four hours two Now, I'm not

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>sure i'd fly too far for a twenty four hour trip,

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>though I sometimes do for my speeches. But even if

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you're just flying one to two hours or driving three

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>to four there are probably a reasonable number of destinations

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>within that radius for you. You might know some people

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>within that radius you'd like to see. And the upside

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of a one night getaway is that it can fit

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in a lot more places in a schedule than a

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>longer stay or even a two nights day can. After all,

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>for a one night getaway, you wouldn't have to rush

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>home Friday after work. You could have a leisurely family

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>dinner and relax after a busy week. Just make sure

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to throw a few things in a suitcase. Then you

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>get up on time on Saturday, drive three hours, and

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>by noon you could be somewhere, going on a hike

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>or seeing a museum, or swimming by a friend's lake house.

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy dinner somewhere, or go to a show, stay up

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>late chatting. Then the next morning you have a leisurely

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>breakfast and just be sure to get on the road

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.399
<v Speaker 1>by late morning. You'd get home in time to have

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>a lazy late afternoon into Sunday evening. You've made memories

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>but still had a lot of weekend downtime. Indeed, because

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 1>you had a reasonable amount of downtime on Friday night

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>and Sunday afternoon into Sunday night, you could even repeat

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>this somewhere else the next weekend. Coordinating vacation time with

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>everyone's schedules can be challenging. But with one night away,

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.679
<v Speaker 1>when you don't even have to take time off work

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>or school, this can be much easier. And here's the

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>thing about a one night getaway. If you go somewhere

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't go frequently, you will remember this trip when

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I look at my time logs. If there's a trip

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>somewhere I've only been a few times, I definitely remember it.

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>That memory is still there, whereas much of a normal

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>summer just isn't now. Flying places and staying in hotels

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>can add up driving and staying with friends is generally cheaper.

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>See you might do a mix, but look at the

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>next few months and see where this might make sense.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you've been saying you want summer to feel more

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>like summer. Doing something memorable with the weekend will help

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>with that. It will make the summer feel richer and longer.

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>And since it's only one night, you could aim for

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>several and still have life go along as it normally does.

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime. This is Laura. Thanks for listening, and
