Take it easy, says the man who has covered a million miles—and revel in service while you can Tips for Happy Travel
Take it easy, says the man who has covered a million miles—and revel in service while you can ILLUSTRATIONS BY GERRY GERSTEN Tips for Happy Travel BY TEMPLE FIELDING author of "Fielding's Travel Guide to Europe" TODAY'S EUROPE offers three major classes of travel—First Class, Economy Class, and a clandestine classification called Lazybones Class. The last is the best, but its practitioners are deplorably sparse. After more than a million miles of foreign footwork, tummywork, and roadwork, my wife Nancy and I at last can qualify as journeymen professionals on the Lazybones circuit. Thus, for fellow connoisseurs of indolence, here are our pet shortcuts for touring—some general, some family secrets, and all learned the hard way: 1. Give yourself time, time, and more time for every stop on your itinerary. Eager-beaver neophytes who try to gulp down 12 countries in 20 days are sure to drag themselves home with a flaming case of gastronomic and cultural indigestion. (Worse, their cameras and their eyeballs click so fast that often they can't identify their classiest snapshots!) Pick three to five lands—no more! 2. Avoid overambitious calendaring as you would a basket of cobras, because hour-to-hour advance commitments will strangle you as mercilessly as a 12 1/2 collar on a 17 1/2 neck. Without fail, set aside a minimum of one morning or afternoon (20 to 40 age group) or one complete day (over-40 age group) per week, as a no-schedule interlude—strictly for dozing, reading, letter writing, and recharging your batteries in the peace and privacy of your hotel room. Conservation of your vitality level for the grind still to come is the key to the success of your whole junket. As a corollary, be careful to side-step early-morning or late-night flights if an alternate is available. 3. If you're traveling day-in and day-out on a tight budget, unfurl that undernourished bankroll at regular intervals—and shoot the works. There's nothing so soothing to tense nerves and to penny-squeezed morale as an occasional all-out plunge into the de luxe pamper treatment—and you can tolerate bread and cheese as penance. 4. Discuss the immediate execution and unhallowed interment of any member of your family who takes more luggage than he or she can pick up and tote for 100 yards. Here's an infallible rule-of-thumb: (a) Assemble all of your bare minimum essentials—the things that you are certain you must have—on one side of a large room, (b) pare them down, with wails of agony, by 20%, (c) transfer 50% of what's left to the other side of the same room, and (d) pack the rest. Each bag over two—including hatboxes—is a ball-and-chain that will constantly threaten to sink you. 5. Garb for lazy wanderers? The most practical dodge of course, is interchangeability—the art of making fo outfits look like two dozen. Because none of us is beating his way up the Ubangi River or taking a five-year lease on the superplush penthouse of Paris' Hotel Bristol, always give the nod to the normal, sensible, easy-fitting garment—the kind, say (since Continental dress habits are more con- Continued on page 8 Breakfast in bed? Of course. It's a fine old European-hotel tradition.
