                                         As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are, otherwise you will miss most of your life.  –Buddha

When a traveller returneth home, let him not leave the countries where he hath travelled altogether behind him.         

                     Living [and traveling] is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering – because you can’t take it in all at  once.    

Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.

–The Dhammapada

 

And, remember the old jingle, “See the USA in your Chevrolet”?  Well, this is what we’ve progressed to:

–Charles Kuralt

 

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.

                            –Clifton Fadiman

 

(Yes, “foreigners” love to speak and sing in their own language and savor their own cuisine during mealtimes that are “normal” for them.)

  

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can. — Danny Kaye

 

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. –Carl Sagan

 

I love flying. I’ve been to almost as many places as my luggage. –Bob Hope 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               I love being a writer. What I can’t stand is the paperwork.  –Peter De Vries
