Why Good Travel?

 In searching for an easy way to keep everyone abreast of  our  work travels along with all the fun and trouble we will get into along the way I decided to catch up with the rest of the world and start a blog.   My goal was to stay in touch without having  to copy and paste the same email over and over again , or be completely obnoxious with posts on Facebook.  So a blog seemed the natural solution .    Please feel free to follow it , but don’t critique my grammar or look for any life changing or awe inspiring travel reviews….. this is just a simple journal of what we consider “Good Travel”.

This blog was originally titled “The Well Traveled Suitcase” in honor of  a gorgeous travel bag  I received as a going away gift from my friends; Lisa, Mallory, and Megan .  However, after  staying in 19 cities over 30 some days our motto of “Good Travel” was repeated over and over again which became the natural title for this blog.

What is Good Travel?   It is different for everyone.   To some people Good Travel is mapping out tours of  museums  and castles or hiking up the side of a mountain.  Our definition is a bit different  and it usually changes from day to day.  Yes, sometimes Good Travel is heading to Dubai on a business class flight with champagne in hand  before takeoff  (who wouldn't consider that Good Travel?) . Quite often it is much simpler like the time we pulled  into a Mississippi gas station on day 18 of our road trip looking for a simple biscuit for breakfast and finding the treasure trove of all breakfasts- homemade hot boudain sausages and pork tamales!    Good Travel can be driving 10 straight hours with movies to keep the kids distracted or stopping every couple of hours when the mood suits you to see the tacky souvenir shops. Good travel can be an amazing steak dinner at Dickie Brennan’s in New Orleans , or cooking hamburgers around a fire on Carters Lake.

Cheers and here is to your Good Travel!
