It’s been three months since our last episode or as they say in the business world, our previous episode was last quarter.
Once again the work-life balance got in the way of posting any episodes. There’s been a decent amount of travel in the last 90 days, but of course not yet back to those 2019 numbers.

Being recorded in the beautiful Northwest Georgia Mountains. Since May 22nd I've spent at most 5 nights in my own bed, and due to that, I don't have a decent microphone.... sorry for the intro audio quality. This called for an October 2020 repost...... The travel lies we've all been told. Numbers don't lie. Women lie, men lie, but numbers don't lie. Max Holloway Throw in your friends and family and they all want to offer you travel advice..... guess what they just might be lying as well.

Over the past few months, I have been traveling more and more, but there’s been nothing much to report on as most hotels, restaurants, and gas stations are 50/50 on the requirement of masks as well as having those plexiglass riot shields in place. However, the one constant is that almost every employee in those facilities is masked up.
Most of us over the age of 21 are familiar with Oktoberfest, and most of us associate it with food and beer, and you wouldn’t be that far off. Tonight we dive more into it after a recent trip tp Savannah, GA.

Welcome to the first episode of our new pivoted format. Pivoted as in we’re incorporating more non-related travel episodes into the format. And what better pivot than a cheesily titled episode like “Setting yourself up to win the day”. All cheese aside I am a true believer in your “Attitude determines your altitude” or “The attitude is very important. Because your behavior radiates how you feel”. Thank you Lou Ferrigno aka the Original Hulk.

This is the Pivot Episode -
According to Dictionary.com, the word pivot is…. To pivot is to turn or rotate, like a hinge. Or a basketball player pivoting back and forth on one foot to protect the ball. When you're not talking about a type of swiveling movement, you can use pivot to mean the one central thing that something depends upon.
If you’re a fan of the TV show Friends you might be familiar with the term Pivot - Think - (season 5, episode 16) The one with the cop., I had to look that up, I’m not that much of a Friends fanboy.
The word pivot has its own Friends definition - yes there is such a thing.
Friends Term: Pivot!
Definition: Something Ross screams when trying to move a couch up some stairs.
Today’s Term: It's the same, but it's something you scream when trying to find the right angle with your selfie stick.
Pre-2020 Pre-COVID pivot was a word I rarely used. This past year the word pivot has been used to describe how things in both my personal and business life have changed. I know I’ve used the word pivot in at least 6 podcast episodes.
Back to the definition - you can use pivot to mean the one central thing that something depends upon. So the central topic that this podcast depends on is Travel Stories. More specifically the word Travel. When it comes to Stories or adventures I have more of them than a bowl of Alphabits cereal. That’s a throwback to a 70s ad campaign.

As more and more of us are getting vaxxed, more and more of us are beginning to travel…..
For me, this is an indicator that things are returning to some sort of normal. Is it the old normal, or is this the new normal? You have to answer that for yourself.
As road warriors begin to gather in hotel bars, airport terminals, and restaurants our conversations will be dominated by all the changes over the past year, how some of us survived COVID, others avoided it while some of our friends and family sadly succumbed to it.
Eventually, the conversation will get around to discussing what’s it like to be traveling again and all of the travel tips and tricks we’ve forgotten over the last year.
Here would be my additions to any of those conversations.
Thanks for listening.

Finishing up a 28-day 1400 mile road trip that has taken me from Florida to Georgia to North Carolina to Tennessee back to North Carolina with possibly one more night in Georgia before being back in my bed in Central Florida.
The CEO flew in a week ago and we’ve spent the last seven days on our Spring Break 2021 tour. The plan is to unpack, pun intended, the trip with her on an episode in the next few weeks.
Tonight’s episode is a repost from April 2019. It was recorded in the beautiful MGM Grand Las Vegas, NV. and the topic was planning for your summer road trip. I’ll be updating this episode in the coming weeks but this will be a good reference point to see how far we’ve come or regressed in the past 24 months.

There was this talk of COVID, but for the most part, it was overseas, and no great concern unless you were traveling internationally By mid-March, everyone's world was getting turned upside down - Everyone was sheltering in place You couldn’t buy
Toilet Paper Lysol Wipes Paper Towels Masks Disposable Gloves
By the end of Spring Break schools just told students to stay home
No end of the year testing Teachers didn’t get to pack their rooms up No graduations - One of the Chateau’ Relaxo residents graduated from UCF, The ceremony was virtual, they wore their robe and we snapped pictures as they stood next to the TV when their name was displayed.
As May approached we were still sheltering in place, and no one knew for how long. By the beginning of summer, things were different
No summer vacations Restaurants and bars were closed The grocery store now included directional arrows in the aisles Your EDC now included a face mask

In a social setting, talk often turns to destinations, where to go, where we’ve been. How many times have you heard - “I’d love to go but I have to find someone to go with — I’m not going to travel there by myself. Nobody wants to do that.” More than once I bet.
How about seeing an acquaintance eating solo, Do your thoughts immediately go to things like - “Aw, he’s by himself. Maybe we can say hi. No one should have to eat alone. That’s so sad.”
Tom Hardy once said, Being alone for a while is dangerous. Once you see how peaceful it is, you don't want to deal with people anymore.
There’s nothing wrong with alone time. It doesn’t mean you don’t love your family or your friends. It means you care enough about yourself.

Recently several of the blogosphere travel bloggers have been asking that exact question.
You don’t need an MBA to know that hotel occupancy numbers are down. However, my own very sophisticated 2-factor research shows that occupancy numbers are on the rise, not by much but they are on the rise.
Factor one asking the desk staff during check-in, "Are you guys getting busier?" Every answer has been, getting busier each week.
The other factor is looking at the “break the seal” stickers on the doors. And as I walk the hallway to my room, and more of those seals are indeed broken. Now the hotels could certainly be piling us all on the 2nd floor, but like I said this research was very sophisticated.

Recently I got to speak with Mark Peacock of the Travel Commons podcast.
Mark has been a frequent business traveler for over 30 years. Beginning with his first flight on his first day of work (ORD to DFW), Mark has traveled extensively for high-tech companies and management consultancies. The first TravelCommons podcast was recorded in May 2005 in the bathroom of the Wardman Park Marriott in Washington, DC, which we talk about.
We covered a lot of ground, including:
- Do you remember the last day you were on the road
- Did you have to cancel any trips you were looking forward to?
- What is your biggest frustration when traveling?
- What's it like being home
- What have you been doing to occupy your time Projects, long bike rides, etc...
- Decent meals you've cooked
- Has frustration has set in
- New beers
- New hobbies
- Have you watched any travel-themed movies lately?
- Most pressing question out there - How are you handling your hair care.
Give the Travel Commons podcast a listen, you won't be disappointed.

Since I've been off the road for a few weeks the travel stories are few and far between.
My plan is to put out shorter, more frequent content until things return to whatever the new normal becomes. I wanted to call these the “Isolation Tapes’ but my friends over at The Gray Natopodcast beat me to it. If you’re into watches, gear, diving, travel, and adventure.
The hosts @jasonheaton and @jamesstacey will keep you entertained.
In the past weeks, I've knocked a handful of chores off my list and won the Rival Dad yard award.

Recorded in the beautiful Marriott Courtyard Albany, NY. Dumb stuff, we all do it and there’s no better place to display it than at the airport. For most, the airport isn’t anyone’s natural habitat. You’ll come across more strangers than friends, you’ll be subjected to rules that you didn’t make and oh yeah, plan on waiting in line….. similar to your first day in Elementary school. Removing someone from their element or normal routine is the perfect opportunity to let dump stuff creep in. Below are a few tips to help you avoid doing dumb stuff at the airport.

I recently listened to the Little Twigbird episode of the Mike O'Meara show where they showcased a travel bit by comedian Nate Bargatze. It seems that Nate's wife had no idea how traveling and catching flights worked. This made me think about how fortunate I am to have a wife that "gets it" when it comes to travel, airports, packing, schedules etc .
If you've spent any time listening to the podcast or reading the blog, you know that our family compound is called Chateau' Relaxo. The reason is very simple, when we built this house we knew it would be hard for anyone to leave. So much so, that we've actually picked up a new resident in the last 12 months.

The week consisted of a 450 mile road trip. It began with a flight into Baltimore, MD and then a drive to Harrisburg, PA, and then onto Albany NY, followed by a flight home. A couple of decent foods stops during the trip.
My South Carolina food tour covers all the bases from BBQ Shealy’s Bar-B-Que House - Batesburg, SC to seafood in Charleston, SC at Hymans Seafood. Want sandwiches as good as they come? Then visit Tattooed Moose - Charleston, SC. Breakfast at the Lizard Thicket - Columbia, SC is one of my favorites. When visiting G-Ville grab a bite at the Cooper River Grill. And The British Bulldog Pubin Columbia, SC is as authentic as it gets.

After a dozen or so trips to Sin City I've got a handful of tips to help you survive. The key is to pace yourself and don't do dumb stuff. The Hangover was just a movie, no one lives that way except maybe Mike Tyson. If done right Vegas offers a great escape and the chance to live like a rock star.

As the youngest resident of Chateau' Relaxo prepares for High School graduation the thoughts of a summer road trip begin to creep in. Last summer it was across the state of Virginia ( Part 1 Part 2). The year before that it was a 1200 mile adventure up through Tennessee as we dropped our used books off at various Little Free Libraries. Not sure where this summers adventures will lead us but there are a handful things that need to be in place for a successful road trip.

Our last episode, The Evolution Of Business Travel, covered some of the basics and got us to this point. Today it's the "Travel Trinity" planes, hotels and smartphones.
Traveling by plane has truly become "Greyhound in the sky". I grew up with an uncle that was a pilot, and my Father-In_Law was also a pilot. I grew up in the world of flying on standby. That meant a jacket or dress depending on your gender coupled with polished shoes, and the rest of the patrons held close to those guidelines as well. Now when you fly, you'll be bombarded with those wearing pajamas and those that believe their ticket entitles them to, wear most anything.

Being recorded in the beautiful home office Orlando, FL. Last week I was in Atlanta, I decided to drive and not fly for a few reasons. To start it's Super Bowl week and I have no desire to interact with that many people at any airport. Next, it was supposed to be Snowmageddon 2019 and I had no desire to be at the mercy of the airlines as to when my flight would depart. In the end, it turned out to be sunny and 40 degrees.

Vacation Death, it's legit. I'm not talking about jumping the border into some third world country, or city, and being taken captive by the local bad guys. I'm talking about the well planned out vacation where you decide to push the limits of your physical ability or put your safety in the hands of someone that's elevator doesn't go to the top floor.

Being recoded in the beautiful DoubleTree Atlanta Airport, Atlanta, GA.
On the previous episode we talked about Florida, specifically South Florida. Today we’ll cover the remaining part of the state. Unfortunately the rest of the list is going to be very Orlando/Tampa centric and here’s why. Towns like Jacksonville, Ocala and Melbourne all have great restaurants but often those destination are day trips, besides a quick lunch it’s rare that I stay there for dinner.

Summer vacation is fast approaching and Savannah is a perfect destination. Be prepared, it’s going to be hot…. stay hydrated. I love Savannah, I end up there several times each year on business and every 18 months or so for vacation. If you’ve never been to Savannah it’s a great for a family vacation, just don’t plan on an amusement park full of thrill rides.. From Orlando it’s less than a five hour drive. Now Savannah is not an easy town to fly into, more than likely you’ll be making a connection along the way.

When traveling I don’t feel that my safety is the least bit threatened. Possibly I was blessed with the “Confidence” gene or the “Dumbass” gene, I’m not sure. I’m aware of my surroundings, I make note of exit signs and staircases. I don’t leave my drink at the bar when I head to the restroom… you know the drill. What concerns me is the safety of my family, if tragedy stuck them that’s far worse than something happening to me. Please take a listen, no gun talk involved, I promise.
