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.

2 Year Anniversary of this Blog


“See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask for no guarantees, ask for no security.”
Ray Bradbury



I have been writing this for two years.  My first posting was on this day in 2011.  It has been fun for me to do, but I am running out of ideas, and now it is starting to be a chore to come up with new things to write.  So I am going to take a break from it.  I may come back and write again, if I think of new things to write about.  When we travel, and we will, I may post reports of those trips.  We are taking a short vacation to Hawaii soon, both to Oahu and the Big Island, but I have already written about those places, so probably won't post anything on that trip.  But we are planning a trip to Portugal, where we will meet up with our friends from Scotland.  I am already planning the trip, and I plan to actually fly into Amsterdam and spend a few days and then take the train to Bruges, Belgium and spend a day there, and then go on to Lisbon to meet our friends.  That is a trip we will certainly report on when we return.  Until then..................
