FAQ: Why do I get nervous at border crossings?

\xa0

My first border crossing from the US was in 1973 when I flew to Mexico City.

I\u2019m sure that I had a passport, and I was only 16 years old, but I don\u2019t remember the border. However, I have passed more borders than I can remember.

I was nervous crossing in Germany over to the Eastern side at Checkpoint Charlie.

I also was nervous about going to some other places.

One of the best places for solo travel is the Washington, DC area, because you can visit as many museums in a day as you wish. When you are solo, it\u2019s YOUR schedule. So if you want to see several in a day, you can. On the other hand, you can make a full summer, one museum a week, and see 13 museums in depth. For metrics: there are 17 Smithsonian museums, that\u2019s just a fraction of them.

Today\u2019s Mistake- Airport Parking Lot was full.

Sometimes you can\u2019t find a parking spot, which is a challenge. If you are at the airport, about to fly away and can\u2019t find a spot, that is concerning.\xa0

Today\u2019s Travel Advice-.Do not try to fit in every country or every city on your trip.\xa0

Plan what countries/cities you want to visit and then do it. You can always return at a later day. Take it slow and enjoy where you are. Make a circular path so you don\u2019t backtrack.\xa0

Planning has never been more important.\xa0
