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.

Merry Christmas to my Readers

Sadie and Baxter under our tree, waiting to open their presents
I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.  Christmas is celebrated around the world, even in countries that are not Christian.  I was in China a few years ago and discovered that Christmas is the biggest holiday of the country.  They do not celebrate it in a religious way, but in a fun, family-oriented way, with the tree and decorations, Santa and snowmen.  They exchange presents and have a special dinner.  That is the way I also celebrate the holiday.  But however, you celebrate, I hope you are with family and that you have plenty of food, warmth and happiness.  From my house to yours, Happy Holiday!!!!
