So like, you know, if you're stressed out, sometimes that break helps. I think to build on Clarence's piece, it helps expand your worldview as you get out of your neighborhood. And that to me always ranks at the top of the list because oftentimes when you travel, you have new experiences, even experiences that are challenging, sort of being able to solve problems in a new setting

No, because once you're in a different environment, okay, it changes things. And my experience has been when I travel to a new environment, you sort of need to compromise more

You become more tolerable, you know, tolerance increases, patience increases, hopefully, and acceptance of things so that, you know, the idea that, you know, you negotiate, it's perfectly okay for someone to go shopping on Fifth Avenue and someone to go to the, you know, Museum of Modern Art and, hey, you know, I'll meet you here in an hour and a half.

And so sort of negotiating time and space and things like that, I think it helps you to see the people you're traveling with in a more appreciative way, but also understanding that we all have our limitations and we do all need our space. And somehow I've always found that being in a different environment

breaks, you know, all of us get into, you know, this pretty inflexible way that we act and behave, you know, usually when we're at home in comfortable surroundings that we know. And then when you're in a place that you don't know, I think it helps you to loosen up and even have conversations about things like that and be able to do those kind of things.

I think that's one of the other positive payoffs.

of you know of traveling is again it puts you in a a different environment and and you're able to uh you know to do things a little differently and and understanding that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't we're right we're all human and uh you know we might go down one path and you know maybe i have to backtrack so that was i realized that when i when i travel um

Yeah, I just want to say one quick thing about CPAP machines because my sister-in-law just was in town, came in and as you know, you have to empty out all the water bottles, right, before you get on the plane and stuff. And the CPAP machines, she says, I need to get distilled water when I get there to use that. You could actually just use filtered water For a few days.

But if you're going to be gone, need to, again, put that on the checklist. Right, Clarence? Yeah, you know, am I going to be able to am I going to be able to get distilled water? Usually that's an easy thing to to find. But again, it's just one more of those things where, you know, she wasn't thinking about it until she got here. And then it was like. Where can we go?
