Travel


Where
we'll all learn how
to be a traveler,
NOT a tourist.
It doesn't matter if you're off to the Amazon
jungles or spending a weekend in the local Holiday Inn, travel can be fun,
exciting and educational.
"We travel, initially, to lose
ourselves,
and we travel, next to find
ourselves."
--
George Santyana, The Philosophy of Travel

Born to travel.
Part of
growing up in a tiny town in Kansas is
the desire to leave, so I moved to California as soon as I could!!
I’m always partially packed and ready to travel. My knack for packing light has
developed from over-packing experiences.
"Cantabit vacuus coram latrone viator"
"Travel light and you can sing in
the robber's face"
-- Juvenal (ca. 50 - 130 AD)
The word "Travel" comes to us from
the French word "travailler" meaning "to work hard". You always knew it was
labor!!! Let's see if we can take some of the "work" out of it.
We'll take a journey of knowledge.
Learning the plane truth about airlines, keeping on track with train travel, and
even how to put together a successful road trip John Belushi style.
We'll become skilled at taking it
with us with articles on packing tips and the latest on luggage, security,
health (including jet lag), and how to have fun at our destination with
restaurant and bar recommendations.
"Travel is ninety percent
anticipation and
ten percent recollection"
-- Edward Streeter

Bon
Voyage!
