TODAY Show: Travel Advisors

TODAY Video Player
If you are a champion traveler, great! If not, I recommend you check out this video from the Today Show.

I have a really hard time getting up the courage to travel away from home, either with or without my young son (with autism). The hassle of either setting up everything at the home front for others to care for him or of managing his needs in an airplane, hotels or relatives' homes seems to outweigh the benefits of the experience. I can just hear my Applied Behavior Analysis home trainer coaching me, "Your fearfulness tells me that you need more travel practice." That's why I put my bowl of cereal down and listened to the Today Show segment explaining how travel agents should really be advisers that help you explore creative ways to help you meet your personal needs while you travel. Meanwhile, my husband is preparing to leave home for business travel that will take him West then East across the Atlantic. He is a seasoned traveler. Maybe we should see a travel adviser to help us create a travel plan that will meet both of our needs...his for excitement and mine for relaxation. What are your travel tips and experiences?
