Still replaying all the moments from a stunning, surreal, and spectacular weekend. Thankful for the opportunities to visit these places, and grateful for the perspective these experiences have given me. Got to cross two items off the bucket list: .

1) Attend an F1 race in person (not to mention at Monaco, one of the toughest and trickiest tracks on the circuit, and get to see Lewis Hamilton take the well deserved first place)

2) See the Monte Carlo Casino Royale, in Monaco. Still blown away by the magnificent interiors of the classically styled casino (BOLO for my own take on Monaco).

If there’s something I’ve learned in the last four days, it’s that trips never line up with expectations. But they have the potential to exceed your expectations and ideas of your trip, if you re-frame you perspective and mindset.

It’s ok to cultivate multiple options, and have a giant wish list for your trip or travel plans, but realize you’re not going to see it all or in the way you imagined. Where the real magic happens is when you commit wholeheartedly to an event, activity, sight, or restaurant. Does that mean you can’t go with the flow and see where the day ( or night) will take you? No. But by committing to something, you force yourself to get out there and take the first step. I’ve found it usually sets you up with an adventurous day, and you never end up where you thought you would.

Anyone else guilty of trying to cram a couple thousand years of history, 12 course meals, and all the bars and clubs into a weekend trip before?
