We walk a ton while vacationing, so no heels for me. :) About 10 years ago we started buying a piece of art from wherever we travel. Not always a painting, but some little thing to remind us of our fabulous adventure. I always want to eat where the locals eat and skip the chains. Oh, and yes; check into local events. I love it when I find a garden show going on.

Having the right walking shoes is sooo important as you will pay for a poor shoe choice and it would be a shame to be in pain from day one when you have several days of walking ahead of you! <br /><br />I definitely try to learn some of the language of the area I am visiting and I bring a phrase book along with me. It establishes so much good will if you attempt to converse in the native language. They usually will quickly detect that you don't speak the language but I think the locals appreciate the effort!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-16063895063276181942017-09-20T19:23:42.671-04:002017-09-20T19:23:42.671-04:00I love the tips you've shared...brush up on th...I love the tips you've shared...brush up on the history of an area is my favorite.

I thought your tips were really good, well thought out and highly practical. I always feel encouraged to be advised to wear comfy shoes, because that means that there'll be things to see if you rely on travelling under your own steam. My idea of a not-fun trip is to go from one "attraction" to another and not really see anything properly. Your posts have now made me feel that I'd love to visit Quebec.

I've traveled all over the world, and one of the tips I think is the most important is to learn a few words in the language of the country you want to visit. I did this even with countries like Egypt and Israel (and am quite happy that I know to say a few things in both Arabic and Hebrew) and it was a real door-opener.

I love traveling independent, but then maybe find a day tour for some things. It works very well. Comfy shoes for sure! Then I pack my slip on flats because they don't take much room and might put them on just for a special dinner. I am finding as I get older to travel lighter and lighter, so I don't have the hassle of heavy suitcases.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-52105743354239251502017-09-19T10:56:09.213-04:002017-09-19T10:56:09.213-04:00What a wonderful trip you had, thanks for the trav...What a wonderful trip you had, thanks for the travel tips!
