Friday Check In: No more travel for little bit please

 [yTravel_logo__250_x_72_.png] [globus_tour_jordan-8.jpg] Hi {NAME} And that's a wrap! An end to an intense couple of months of travel and projects. I feel like I have been jet lagged since the end of February with my solo trip to Jordan. That was followed by a weekend trip to Wilmington, an intense two-week family trip to London, and a week in Washington Wine Country at the TBEX conference. In between all of that I was preparing my presentation, working on campaigns for This is Raleigh, recording podcasts, creating content for the blog, and studying for (and taking) a huge test (more on that later). It's been loads of fun. with so many amazing memories, but I'm wiped out and ready for a break. Here's to a quieter May, where I focus on resting and restoring my health and wellness, creating content from all of these trips, implementing new ideas and changes to the business, working on our house, finishing the girls first year of school, and enjoying quieter moments in Raleigh. But having said that, my schedule is quickly filling up with events for our Raleigh site (which is growing rapidly)! I'm pretty bad at staying still - there is just too much fun to experience in life! Do you ever get tired of the intensity of travel? How do you slow down when life offers so much to enjoy? Caroline READING | WATCHING | FOLLOWING | LISTENING - The Morning Show: What a great show with standout performances from Jennifer Anniston and Reece Witherspoon. - U Save:  I discovered this car rental company in LAX this week. It saved me a lot of money in comparison to other car rental sites and UBER which would have cost me $200. The UBER estimate from LAX to my airport hotel was $60 That was to drive ONE MILE. Y'all travel is insane right now! Scrap that. The world is insane. I'm taking a break. - Americans Traveling overseas? As we learned coming back from London, organizing a COVID test is very stressful. We've found a company that makes it easier for you - and allows you to use the free COVID tests sent from the government. You do need to have a video consultation which they organize for you.
