Would You Take A 24-Hour Vacation? Book A Flight For One City & Return Home Within 24 Hours to Sleep In Your Own Bed?

The was a guest this morning who was interviewed on the CBS Morning Show and he said he does that. Said that the cost of hotel rooms etc. made it worth it. He apparently has done it dozens of times. Spoke about his recent trip to Egypt to see the pyramids etc and got a souvenir shirt and photos and returned home. Wouldn’t need to check baggage or even a carry-on bag. Maybe a shoulder bag with money, passport, and other necessities. I bet the climate change people would throw a fit about that and they never asked him in the interview about that. Or about how jet lag can set it and need to sleep and rest before doing anything. His departure was from NYC so no connecting flights.

Now if time travel was a thing I’d do it in a heartbeat, would save all that time flying back & forth if you could instantly go somewhere interesting and come back before bedtime. Could do it on your best days when you are feeling good etc. and it wouldn’t take a lot of money either, just for meals or souvenirs. I’d be going to forests and other beautiful natural areas very often.

It takes at least twelve hours to get to anywhere nice outside of trumpistan.

@Crazywaterspring I think the direct fight saved time. I imagine it takes more than 24 hours with the flights included to go from NYC to Cairo. It took 8 hours to go to Morocco once I got to NYC and then you have to wait to disembark from the plane, go through passport controls etc. Get a taxi to go where you need to go if you aren’t going to a hotel first. I think this guy is trying to sell a book or something, I don’t think one was mentioned but it sounds like he might be planning on it.

@cherokeepatti He's probably selling a book or promoting a travel website.

@Crazywaterspring Catchy title “24-Hour Vacations”. Will likely document all of his trips with stories, costs, and plenty of photos to fill a book
