Great tips! We also apply the "peak/end experience" approach, after reading an article about how the memories of a trip / event are very much colored by the last thing you do. Our application: we planned to go night swimming in a bioluminescent lagoon in Jamaica. Instead of going midweek, we went on our final night. The magical experience -- at the end -- definitely influenced us to recall this trip as very amazing, even though many other days were spent lazing in a cabana with a book and a drink.
I never thought as deeply about this, “who we travel with matters”. And, yes, I’m a big fan of having a reset day after flying or a big trip - so critical to maximize the vacation.
The photos are great, especially the baby's face in the first one! Adorable family photo 💗
My favourite packing hack... Because packing is always the worst part of any trip... Is I keep an open suitcase in the hall a week before I go... And just keep dropping what I need in. By the end of the week... Everything is done with minimal pain. I just zip it up and call my ride.
Hi Charlie, I just returned from the trip to Egypt , your mom was my traveling companion. We had a great time. I recommend Frogg Toggs & a personal neck air conditioner to keep cool on hot summer excursions.
Thanks for the tips, especially about how smell evokes memories so well. I don't think it's fair to take people's picture and post it on the Internet without their permission (Louvre picture).

That's great! And really smart!

They laughed about it afterwards. I think they're okay with it.
