THINKING ABOUT TRAVEL WHEN IT’S A WINTER WONDERLAND OUTSIDE.

Winter is here ,  unofficially . 

December  21st  is the first day of winter here in the United  States . 

When I look outside my window ,  I see snow.

It looks  really  beautiful  and I can’t  wait  to take some pictures . 

Some parts of the United  States  got more snow than other parts as usual . 

If I lived down South, let’s  say in the cities of Houston ,  Atlanta ,  or even New Orleans ,  the 2-3 inches of snow that they received  would cause  all kind of panic on the roads and streets of those cities . 

However, I live in New York  City  and like other cities in the Midwestern  and Northeast states in the country, the three inches of snow is called  something  else . 

We call it, “Nuisance  Snow”.

Some of us play in it when it first comes  down, making snow angels and snow balls to throw at our friends or relatives . 

Some of us know how to drive in it when it hits the streets  or highways.

We definitely  know how to walk in it, because you know, it’s  New York  City ,  we’re  in a hurry to get no where fast.

We also know how to shovel and salt that sucker so that we or our neighbors  don’t  slip and fall . 

As usual ,  the snow coming down is making me think of one thing.

You guessed  it.

Travel and not just doing a 30  Plus  Teams  Tour  to some place  warm, although going to Tampa  or Miami sounds wicked  good right about  now  as it was 28 degrees Fahrenheit  outside.

Nashville  sounded really good too, until I noticed that “Music City” was getting some snow too . 

So much for that idea.

As you can tell ,  you don’t  need a warm sunny day  to think  about  travel.

You can do it anytime  and in any kind of  weather . 

Wintertime  should  be  the  time that you really  get those travel juices going and of course,  , you don’t  need to do a 30 Plus  Teams  Tour . 

The Carribean, Australia ,  Greece, or New Zealand  are good ideas as is Italy or Israel . 

There’s  only three weeks left in 2017, go somewhere . 

Just don’t  think about it.

Do a day trip for God’s sake . 

Think about your next trip, even if it is  a winter wonderland  outside.
