It’s easy to get scared and a bit apprehensive about travel when you are inundated and overwhelmed by the media. This little incident in Detroit could have turned into something horrific, causing all of us to question whether or not to get on a plane again soon.
I look at it this way. Tomorrow you could get hit by a bus, or an errant meteor that lands on your head. The bottom line is that when your number is called, that’s it.
Life is short as it is. Hit the road without fear. Meet face to face with your client, your group, your family, your friends. Meetings in person are so much more meaningful because you can shake a real hand, share a real meal and look straight into the eyes of a real person in front of you. You also might get to experience a new destination experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.
Happy New Year 2010. Hit the road, get on a plane, see something new. Travel is part of the human spirit that enlivens everything about us.
