Episodes 15.1 + 15.2

Travel rarely goes the way you want it to - especially with kids, grandparents, and a full itinerary.

In this episode of True Travel Talk, Jill and her husband, Paul, unpack years of real-life travel mishaps across the all-too-relatable theme: delays and disruptions.

Some moments were stressful. Some were funny in hindsight. A few were genuinely hard. But over time, they’ve learned something important: when you lean into what goes wrong instead of resisting it, those road bumps often become the stories that define the adventure. 

From missed flights and wet passports to urgent care visits on vacation, this episode is a reminder that travel isn’t about perfection - it’s about flexibility, resilience, and recognizing the bright side along the way. Because sometimes the detour is the destination.
