Travel can sometimes be frustrating, especially lately with security changes, economic conditions, or what have you. After over a decade of frequenting airports, hotels, and venues, I have learned that it is best to stay calm and keep a positive mantra at all times. It is very important to keep your cool, because very seldom are the conditions in your control, and you need to keep your peace of mind. I like to make the commitment to myself before traveling that whatever happens…happens…and that I will just “go with the flow”. Take the functionalist approach, and you will be surprised how things really do work themselves out in the end.
