If there is anything I have learned in the last seven years from living on the road, it is that there are 6 critical things all wacky women must have to survive.
1. A current, valid US Passport. Obvious, right? If you have ever gotten to the customs desk and misplaced your passport you know what I mean. It actually helps if your passport photo is not so great. This is because by the time wacky women have traveled half way around the world, they look quite frightful. If you look like wacky women in your photos, by the time you’ve been bump 4 times on a five legged journey, you will actually look like your photo.
2. The second is even more obvious to me. A toothbrush! All wacky women who have ever taken a trans-Atlantic flight you will agree. Nothing worst than falling asleep as the plane leaves JFK and waking up in Paris with something dead in your mouth!
3. Wacky women need to have the ability to sleep ANYWHERE and be happy about it. This little virtue has come in handy on numerous occasions, especially when I travel with Launi. We never know where we are going to end up.
4. The fourth thing is that all wacky women must possess the knowledge of where every Starbucks in the entire world is located. Now, you all may think this is odd considering I do not drink coffee but they always have really fast Wi-fi for my computer and they make great hot chocolate steamers. Whether you drink coffee or not, while at Starbucks, you will also meet up with other wacky women doing the same thing.
5. Cute shoes. All wacky women, understand this. Traveling with comfortable shoes is important but making sure they are cute is essential.
6. A best friend. Life on the road for wacky women, whether vacationing or working, requires a best friend. Although my husband Al is great to travel with, nothing could ever compare to Launi. Never have two wacky women perfected the art of doing nothing like we have. We are totally content to do nothing in Cancun, Rome, Paris, Praque…you name it. But the overwhelming advantage to traveling with wacky women like Launi is that she knows where to buy the best gelato in every city in Europe. And that is priceless!
So that’s it, my finite travel guide for wacky women. Finite that is, until my next wonderful wacky women adventure and I think up more essential things to share!
