People are always telling us that"getting there is half the fun".But is it true? Is it always true? Of course, we can all remember many enjoyable trips we have taken. But haven’t we all taken a trip that wasn’t fun at all? Can we ever forget the time when we just wanted to come home?
The fact is, some people who travel for pleasure get no pleasure from it at all. Others, who travel because they must travel, have a lot of fun doing it. What makes one trip more enjoyable than another?
The answer is planning. Any trip can be enjoyable if it is well planned. Every minute that you spend planning your trip may save you ten minutes of trouble during your trip. It may also add an hour of pleasure!
