End of The Trip Musings |
At the end of my second trip for the illustrious travel guide known as Let's Go, I've had a few realizations about what it takes to be out in the field for a travel guide company.
Dangers of Peeing in the Dark |
I pee a lot. I keep hydrated during the day, what with all the walking I'm doing, and burn through two or three fill-ups of your average plastic water bottle, plus the glasses of water at cafes, plus coffees, plus the occasional soda, all within your typical 9am-5pm day.
Technology. |
As I sit and type up this blog on a functional and (what the hell, I'll say it) attractive little macbook, I'm reminded of just how lucky we Let's Go researches of the 21st century are. In fact, I was in the National Museum of Scotland the other day and ran across a machine that was obviously a Let's Go antique, used to transcribe past researchers' work from hastily scribbled (but informative!) notes to professional, squeaky clean, book-approved material (that's also informative!).
Round and Round the Kitty |
Drinking blogs, there had to be a few.
