10 commandments for traveling


I recently finished reading the book The Happiness Project where the author Gretchen Rubin talks about her 10 commandments on life. I decided to come up with my own 10 commandments on traveling. I think these "commandments" capture my goals in traveling with my son. Enjoy!
  1. Make it a family affair
  2. Be mindful during the trip
  3. Be grateful during the trip
  4. Budget! Budget! Budget!
  5. When possible, go somewhere new or do something different
  6. Your allegiance is to your family not to disgruntled travelers who complain
  7. It’s your money, spend it wisely on making you and those you love happy
  8. Travel is a luxury not a necessity, don’t travel if it brings you pain
  9. Remember, “the days are long but the years are short” (Gretchen Rubin)
  10. Strengthen bonds, love and trust with your family by creating beautiful memories
