Dr. Mary Travelbest’s Solo Travel North Dakota
In this episode: FAQ is How far in advance should I book my travel?
The destination is North Dakota. The lesson learned is carry a flashlight and the tip is how to stay awake while driving.
FAQ: When asked, how far in advance should I book my travel, I had to dig into my expert opinions for some data. The domestic trips should be booked one to two months in advance and international trips are best planned even further in advance, especially if you are traveling on specific dates or for a holiday period. Those are when flights are highly sought after and as you know.

Today’s Independent Destination- Fargo, North Dakota
The touristy thing to visit in Fargo is the Hjemkomst Center, a scenic museum complex that features a replica of a Norwegian Viking ship and a wooden stave church. The name means Homecoming, which represents the Nordic people.

The Plains Art Museum is one of the most visited places in Fargo. Other popular sites in North Dakota are the Teddy Roosevelt National Park, and the National Buffalo Museum.
Painted Canyon Visitor Center will be a stop on my next trip. As you would imagine, there are plenty of buffalo and camping here to enjoy.

Other things to do in the area are visit the many parks, museums, art galleries and mix with the locals. I found many university campuses to walk around, such as North Dakota State University and five others. It may be the last US state that many people visit, because it’s just not on the way to many other places. It’s worthwhile to visit and learn of this great state.
Today’s Lesson Learned- Carry a flashlight
At night, it’s hard to see in the dark. If you’re tent camping, you may need to have a handy flashlight if you need to use the restroom facilities. You can find some that are hands free, too. That saved me from tripping in the dark times. Keeping a flashlight with batteries or using the flashlight on your smartphone can save you from tripping or falling, and that’s a lesson learned. See the notes for the Best Flashlights and how to select one.
