This past weekend I got in my car and drove to Virginia. It’s a 7-hour drive that I’ve done plenty of times with my family when I was growing up. But over the past few years, I’ve elected to take the 1-hour flight over the 7-hour drive to Virginia. This pandemic has taken so much from us, but one of its “gifts” to me is time. So I decided to cash in on my available time and I hopped in my car, filled the tank up with gas, and hit the NJ Turnpike heading south. Now, if my father was still alive, he would have checked my oil, checked my tire pressure, topped off my fluids, etc., etc. I did none of that…thank God for traveling mercies!
The long drive was so therapeutic. I was alone with my thoughts and the open road. No radio, no talking on the phone, no staring at a screen, no planning the next trip to Timbuktu. I was in the moment, not worrying about what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow. I hadn’t done that in such a long time and it was refreshing.
My goal for Overton Travel trips is to allow you to be in the moment. Our trips take you out of your environment and away from your daily stresses. We do all the planning for you – flights, hotels, tours; we even tell you what time to wake up in the morning (yes, I am serious ). If a trip has caught your eye, just book it and go! If you don’t have a roommate, still go! You will meet other travelers on the trip. You deserve to get away and clear your mind… yes, YOU!
