Garbage or Inspiration???


My mom would call these two piles as garbage. I see them as my inspiration.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to spend a few hours at the Travel and Adventure Show at the Washington Convention Center. The travel show had representatives from many different tourism boards from various countries from all six continents and many different states.

As you can see, I collected brochures and pamphlets for many destinations local and international.

International Pamphlets

USA Pamphlets

These brochures and pamphlets are like porn. Reading these make my heart jump, lets me dream a little and gives me inspiration. Inspiration to plan a a weekend gateway, friend's long weekend or even an aspiration trip.

Most of us collect points to travel to new locations, but one of the hardest decisions is where to go. Throughout the blog, Chris and I have preached that to be successful in this game, you must have goals; travel goals. With a destination in mind, the plan on how to get there and how to pay for (hopeful with points)  it become a lot easier.

Before today, I was collecting points for unknown future adventures, but my few hours at the travel show opened many new destinations for me to travel to: Austin, Alaska, Iceland, and Seychelles Islands.

Tomorrow, I start collecting/earning points for a purpose. Time to get planning on the rest of trips for 2013.

Excuse me as I go to my bedroom with these pamphlets.
