What Can I Bring in My Carry-On?
Your carry-on is one of the most important and strategic parts of planning if you'll be sitting on a long flight.

Having the perfectly-packed carry-on luggage ensures you have all the essentials and entertainment you need to enjoy your travel, instead of just enduring it.

Intelligence is expanded when there are global interactions, conversations had, various foods and settings are altered. Seeing the world in its many forms is a necessity for me before I leave this world. It's been a very long time that I have traveled anywhere. To add to it, I've never left the country. The time has truly come that I put away with my own personal travel ban. Before we are all stranded and not allowed to leave and respective homelands, there's a imperative need to put the wheels on the travel van. It's time that I get out and venture into different corners of the world. Visiting different parts of this great country that I haven't seen is always exciting. Still have never been to California nor New York. D.C was a joy last time I was there but that was during the teen years. Last all out vacation was Myrtle Beach back in 2015, first time visit.

They say taking the road less traveled and off the beaten path brings a sense of reverence and humility toward life that one would miss entirely if they proceeded on to that beaten path.

Sometimes I got in trouble but through it all the paths I have taken only brought out the inner strength of character along with a keen awareness of the sanctity of life that would have laid doormat otherwise. My travels to the far corners of the globe have also given me a unique perspective for different cultures and a deeper respect for their way of life. But, in all of those travels the one place that holds me captive with its natural beauty and sheer majesty where so much of the land is virtually untouched by man is in America's "Last Frontier" Alaska.
