Adapting to the Unexpected

Rule #2: Be Flexible

We're learning a lot on the road, and our most positive experiences have resulted from (or resulted in) us having to be flexible. For example...

  • An unplanned stop at a Pick-Your-Own orchard, Larriland Farm, proved to be not only a great time, but also a great chance for us to stock up on fresh produce for our road trip... 

 and get gifts for our lovely hosts! 

  • A detour in our walking route around downtown Boston had us cross paths with an old buddy we hadn't seen in seven years!
  • Learning that hiking Mt. Washington was going to take more time and effort than we had planned (and packed clothing) for, we opted to drive it ourselves. We were rewarded with amazing views and had plenty of time to explore and make it to our next destination before sunset that day.
  • Finding that our original destination in Vermont was closed landed us at Knight Point State Park for a beautiful view of  Lake Champlain under an empty picnic pavilion.
Here's to staying flexible, and finding more fun along the way!
