Go back and look through the photos, the postcards and the souvenirs to relive the trip again. If you have not done it recently, plan to do so soon.

Forget the delays, the missed tours and bickering due to lack of sleep, food or drink. Forget the tired yawns, long waits, standing in seemingly endless lines and for a table for 5.

Remember the best moments.

Remember the meals.

Remember the museums.

Remember the architecture.

Remember the history and what we learned.

Remember the moments when everyone came together, finding common ground and laughing.

This is the way to relive the trip and yes, this is the way to look forward to the next.
