Plan Ahead for the What-ifs in Life Who Has the Power? By SAMUEL BURK #177443 Some are planners; while others are wanderers, tapping more fully into their free spirit. For your next adventure on the road, each has its own appeal. F or the planners, knowing where and how long you are going to be in one location allows you to secure a lot rental with services, possibly schedule a place and time to catch up on your mail from the Escapees mail-forwarding service and ensure that you can get into a local landmark or park on the days you want to visit. For the wanderers, there is a sense of freedom, spontaneity and thrill that comes from not knowing what tomorrow may hold; it is the ability to follow today’s thought without the burden of worrying about tomorrow. Both approaches should be freely embraced and, in fact, many of you go back and forth between the two depending on your season of travel. However, for some matters, even if just a few, I would urge you to consider becoming a planner so that you can be prepared for things that never come to pass.
