Travel Quotes

Mark Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” Maya Angelou

I would like to welcome new readers to my travel blog. If you are reading this for the first time, then I suggest you first read my introduction which I wrote last November when I started this. It explains why I am writing this and it gives you a little about my background. And most importantly it explains about my list and how it works.

Happy Mothers Day

"Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever."

Mother's Day


To my readers in the USA, I would like to wish every mother a Happy Mothers Day.  I know that other countries also celebrate Mothers Day, but the dates vary.  I remember many years ago I received a Mothers Day card from my daughter.  It arrived in March.  My daughter was living in London that year, going to college there.  She saw Mothers Day cards in the stores and thoughtfully bought one and sent it to me.  However, I was a little confused when I got it, since it was not anywhere near Mothers Day.  That is when we both found out that England celebrates it at a different time from us. So for those of you who are celebrating Mothers Day today, I wish you a happy one, and to all the mothers everywheere - I wish everyday is a good day, and that your children are well and happy.
