Listed in no special order ( see #1)  A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving Lao Tzu (570-490 B.C.) The ordinary traveler, who never goes off the beaten route and who on this beaten route is carried by others, without himself doing anything or risking anything, does not need to show much more initiative and intelligence than an express package."

"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit." -Helen Keller
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe the safe harbor.

Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must first be overcome. - Samuel Johnson
The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - We must step up the stairs. - Vance Havner

My favorite travel philosphy is to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Many people are so focused on the destination they forget to enjoy what there is a long the way. This mainly works for road trips but even if you are flying, relax enjoy the experience. Once I get to the airport I get my coffee (if it is morning), find a seat in the area where I will board & settle down with a book, I watch people as they are endlessly fascinating, sometimes I talk with a fellow traveler which is part of the fun of traveling. The whole experience of going some where is what you make of it. People tend to complain about most things such as security, delays, etc. It is all "what it is", instead of complaining make the most of it.

You will be there when you get there. Stuff is going to happen. Hope for the best. Expect the worst. This has become my life's philosophy for everything. |

“The joys of travel begin with planning, build with the anticipation, and culminate while in progress. But fortunately that is not the end. Afterward there comes the hours of capturing all the details in a travelogue and photo story. Both ensure that whenever the mood hits, I can relish the memories.” Patricia Cronk
“Travel is expensive, but if you spread the cost out over all of the hours of anticipation and recollection, I think the price turns out to be a very good value.” Patricia Cronk
