Let me jump in real quick. Now that I've recaptured my thoughts here. Okay, go ahead. I think the whole idea for me, the pros of traveling really is life experiences. It really helps to, for me, to have a deeper appreciation of many times where I'm at, where I'm currently at. It gives me a chance to look at other things. But I do think it's important to to travel.
Let me jump in real quick. Now that I've recaptured my thoughts here. Okay, go ahead. I think the whole idea for me, the pros of traveling really is life experiences. It really helps to, for me, to have a deeper appreciation of many times where I'm at, where I'm currently at. It gives me a chance to look at other things. But I do think it's important to to travel.
Because I think so many times people have a worldview that's only 10 square blocks or five miles. And with that kind of, I'm not going to call it a distorted perception, but with that kind of limited perception, it can cause you to misread so many things that are going on around you and that's going through your sphere.

And I have always been a strong advocate that when it comes to traveling, proof of traveling, young kids should travel to foreign countries or different places when they're eight, nine, 10. And in some cases, say they're two or three weeks or more. for them to really appreciate what they have. So that would be my restored comment about pros of traveling.

You know what's interesting, though, as you were talking, I think about the fact is sometimes we travel for relaxation and we wind up coming back more tired than when we left. And I think that there has to be some tips, you know, based on, again, based on what it is. I mean, if it's business, that might make a lot of sense.

And I think that there has to be some tips, you know, based on, again, based on what it is. I mean, if it's business, that might make a lot of sense.
But I think there's got to be some tips on what we can do to make sure that our time spent relaxing... could be more relaxing versus, you know, feeling like we got to do everything, you know, that's on the brochure. So that was my thought is that sometimes when we travel, we travel for relaxation, but we don't necessarily plan for relaxation.

We plan to do activities and we don't get to the most important thing is why are we really doing what we're doing?

Well, you know, Sam, I think that's a good point to talk about traveling is you got to know who you're traveling with. You know, and I think sometimes we're forced to travel with people that, you know, no matter what we do, we're not going to enjoy it. You know, I mean, not because you don't enjoy them. It's that we have different interests.

You know, if I'm going someplace, I don't want to go someplace where I have to shop. You know, I don't want to go to all the different vendors and shops. I mean, that would drive me crazy. I want to go to the beach a little bit. But I don't want you to think I'm a drag because I don't want to go with you down to, you know, to these other things. You know what I mean?

So I think sometimes, and again, you get back to Barry, sometimes you have to plan things and say, okay, look, this is what we're going... You know, this is my personality. This is my style. That's your personality. That's your style. We can agree on some things, but... can we also have our individual space for us to enjoy this time together?

You know, sometimes you go places with people and they want to continuously talk to you, you know, because we never have a chance to talk. Well, you know, this is not the place where I want to be on, you know, be talking to you all the time. It's not that you don't love them, you know what I'm saying? But it's true. It's like, Can I rest? But we're never together.
