Wish I could be that kind of traveler! If you get a chance to read the current National Geographic, there's a "salute" to a longtime NG writer who recently passed away, and WOW what a life!

I'm just happy my husband and I were able to carry on with our wedding plans in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Kamsin: I like your approach to the topic, but I must confess I had to look up the true definition of "pilgrim." I associate it too much with Thanksgiving. Yes, I think true travel should be more like enlightenment. <BR/><BR/>GR: If you were sitting next to me on a flight, I couldn't help but talk to you! But for the general public, not talking is more of a defensive safety issue for me. Besides, I get so little time to just read or write that I seize the opportunity every time.Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-1153044989087389842006-07-16T06:16:00.000-04:002006-07-16T06:16:00.000-04:00Such a novel approach to the theme!

I guess I want to be changed by travel and move closer to something or someone when I travel.
