Travel Tip Of The Day

Don Sullivan

All fine comments. Among many, my own favorite is this: even traveling with younger kids, we let fortune take charge. The rule was that we’d go along any road, and as we’d approach a good-sized crossroad one person (all taking turns at different crossings) would say left, right, or ahead. Entirely random, everybody helps to decide. We never once failed to end up a someplace wonderful and memorable.
