I joined the Wicketts on a road trip to Canberra, the National Capital of Australia. Our purpose: to enjoy the massive floral displays at Floriade, the annual “Festival of Spring” hosted in Canberra.
My Rules for “Zen Travel”
Remember:
1. It is not easy to drive on the “other side” of the road AND the car.
2. The windshield wipers are where the turn signal should be.
3. Street signage is very unclear and confusing. Turns, merges and major freeways seem to sneak up awful quick.
4. If there’s a freeway exit…there’s a freeway entrance.
5. The more navigators the better!
6. The driver will usually follow his instinct when making split-second decisions.
7. MapQuest is not to be trusted.
8. Maps are good. GPS systems are better.
9. Watch for pedestrians, wombats and kangaroos.
10. When given a choice: Smile, disengage, listen to your iPod and watch the scenery go by…
