Assume You Will Return

My sister-in-law and her mother went by elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower on their recent trip to Paris. They did a lot more than we did when we went in 2007. I had the help of a Rick Steve's travel guide, he always advises us to 'assume we will return'.  What is your view on travel are you tempted to see absolutely everything on your trip?

Quite a view.

I like lists put together by 'experts' that tell you the most important things to see each day of your trip.

That's an interesting notion. I never assume I will return, and I seldom do.
I do wear out, though, and make choices about what we will see or do.

I am the lazy type of traveler... just a few things and those at my own pace.

Definitely must pace yourself, otherwise the small things may be missed :D)

It is very difficult to travel when you have little money and poor health. Therefore, try to see as much as possible when you travel, because it might be the last time you are there.

Wow, what an incredible view! I try to squeeze in my favourite things while I'm there but I don't want to feel stressed about it.

Goodness me, that's an incredible view.

When visiting anywhere new I/we try to plan ahead a little so we see a fair number of places that interest us the most and come away feeling pleased and not stressed about fitting too much in and then feeling over tired … it seems to work for us!

All the best Jan

nope, not tempted to see everything on a trip, I tend to just go with the flow and let whatever will happen, happen :)
