The Best Time to Travel is Right Now (general aviation)

By Jerry Waxman

 You may think I’m nuts for saying this when the world is looking at an economic meltdown, when people’s salaries are hitting the basement, and prices are climbing straight through that hole in the ozone layer. But I’m going to say it again:

“NOW is the Best Time to Travel”

I have a number of reasons for saying this.. Let’s start with just one: a philosophical reason.

Have you ever heard people talking about the good old days? The fact is there never were “good ole” days. Back in those good old days that old people like to remember their grandparents would remember the “better, older days.”

The point is, if we think about it, there were always things that were better once. It would be wonderful to bring some of those things back, but it’s not likely that will ever happen.

So how does this pertain to travel. Well, there have been better times for travelers. Much of what I write about, you just can’t do them anymore because conditions have changed. I suspect conditions will change and change again, and not entirely for the better.

So, there may be better times ahead for traveling - and I hope there will be. But there’s no sense waiting for them. Based on historical trends, the best time for traveling is today.

Moral of the story: Don’t wait for better days. Start working on your dream right now.
