The Art of Traveling - by Sylvia Berman, President, Post Haste Travel
When you pack your bags to explore the beauties of your own country
or to travel around the world, consider these keys to a happy journey:
Travel Lightly – You are not traveling for people to see how you look.
Travel Expectantly – Every place you visit is like a surprise package to be opened. Untie the strings with an expectation of high adventure.
Travel Hopefully – “To travel hopefully”, wrote Robert Louis Stevenson, “is better than to arrive”.
Travel Humbly – Visit people and places with reverence and respect for their traditions and way of life.
Travel Courteously – Consideration for your fellow travelers and your hosts will smooth the way through any difficult days.
Travel Gratefully – Show appreciation for the many things that are being done by others for your enjoyment and comfort.
Travel with an Open Mind – Leave your prejudices at home.
Travel with Curiosity – It is not how far you go, but how deeply you go that mines the gold of experience.
Travel with Imagination – As the old Spanish proverb puts it: “ He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him.”
Travel Fearlessly – Banish worry and timidity; the world and its people belong to you, just as you belong to the world.
Travel Relaxed – Make up your mind to have a good time. Let go and enjoy.
Travel Patiently – It takes time to understand others, especially when there are barriers of language and custom; keep flexible and adaptable to all situations.
Travel with the Spirit of a World Citizen – You’ll discover that people are basically the same the world over. Be an ambassador of good will to all people. Put your best foot forward.

Tehnology Marketing University 2011
I am sitting in a class to learn how to be a better travel blogger. Andy Hayes and Trisha Miller are our instructors today...both avid bloggers. I should go home with lot's of homework and lessons on how to do this better. Here we go!
How many of you read blogs? How about my blog? Is this blog pertinent to you? Is it succesful for me? And what are the alternatives to blogging? How do we measure the succes of a blog? By the number of comments? By the number of phone calls or emails? Or by the ranking by Google?
I good thing is this blog is linked to our website, www.posthastetravel.com so I hope reading this will lead you to read our website content. I also post our quarterly newsletter on our website and link that to this blog, my Facebook pages, my Twitter accounts...do you go to that link and read the newsletter? Is a blog worth the time and effort?
I tend to post info on cruises, properties and specific trips that someone in our office had recently been on...including photos when possible. I hope this content is timely and accurate.
I have recently used guest bloggers. Colleagues that have been on a fabulous trip and have written a really comprehesive message that I couldn't possibly do. I think that for Post Haste Travel we should do that more often. You will get to know our advisors better by the vacations they take on their own or with groups. I will post cruises by our advisors that are Virtuoso Voyager Club Hosts to get their percpective...I will post the many experiences our Africa and Safari advisors and clients have...with pictures...and if you have any questions wbout any of this, it's important that you comment so I can know if I'm doing this right. So, I'm going back to listening to my instructors right now. Let me know what you think!
