Why do travels succeed and/or not succeed? This is the question.
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 7:05 AMIt must be clear by now that Malaybalayan just came from a travel which was so successful. The wish is there to make it possible to would-be travellers to have a glimpse of what makes a travel succeed even before it happens.
Why do travels not succeed is the way to know why it succeeds. These are some of thequestions that must be asked and the answers should be positive.
One: Does the travelling group have a team of planners. These planners prepare the itinerary to a T such that research is part of its preparation. They assign among themselves what every item must be implemented. Nothing is left to chance.
Second: When the journey begins, is there a leader according to the need of the moment? For example, who gets the map upon arriving in the airport of Hongkong or Singapore or Macau? Does he/she know how to read the map? Can this person be relied upon in following directions especially in how to go about the MRT tours and rides? If the group is "lost" who keeps up the morale?
Third: Who holds the purse? Should there be extra money needed, is there someone who can supply it epecially because the group is in a foreign country. Does this person have a credit card?
Fourth: Does someone become the cheer leader if there is need for pep talk? Who says it is time to rest and breathe more deeply and easily?
Fifth: Does someone care to find out if the food is delicious or is there need to go to a familiar place like MacDonald or Kentucky Fried Chicken if the food served seems too chinese or too foreign for a filipino taste?
Sixth: Is there a photographer who knows how to give justice to the magnificent views and sites that the group may never be able to visit again or if ever, only after two years or so?
Seventh: Do you pray once in a while for the many good things that have been happening especially the good weather, the safe journey, the good health, the problem-free immigration procedure and the like?
Eighth: Did you come home intact as a group with smiles on your lips even if every part of your body is aching of fatigue?
There are many more questions but these eight will do and in fact are already difficult to fill you man not want to travel after all.
So have a safe trip and God bless!
