<\/a>Ah. \u00a0Just back from Mt. Vernon. \u00a0Learned some things about\u00a0traveling now. \u00a0Now, that is, in the third phase when I’m no longer as resilient as I used to be.<\/p>\n1. \u00a0Use a cab or public transportation to a location, then walk back. \u00a0Or, the reverse. \u00a0Don’t walk both ways, especially on concrete. \u00a0(An example this trip would have been the Lincoln Monument. \u00a0I could have walked back and seen the Whitehouse and the Willard on the way home.)<\/p>\n
2. \u00a0If tired, stop. \u00a0Rest. \u00a0If hungry, eat. \u00a0(I have a tendency to want to keep going when I’m moving, wait until meal time if I’ve worked up a hunger.)<\/p>\n
3. \u00a0When wool gathering about enough this or enough that get out and do something. \u00a0Don’t forget 1 & 2.<\/p>\n
4. Take at least one vacation a year where the whole point is to relax. \u00a0I know this may seem obvious to many of you, perhaps most of you, but I typically have a goal, an intent. \u00a0This time, for instance, it was immersion in the pre-Raphaelites and learning about how to work with art post-MIA. \u00a0Did it. \u00a0But. \u00a0I kept needing to turn the hamster wheel one more time. \u00a0Stop that!<\/p>\n
5. \u00a0Vacations are more fun with Kate along. (I knew this one already, but it never hurts to write things down.)<\/p>\n
