Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for July 19th.

It’s from Jan Myrdal, a Swedish left-wing writer, author, and China specialist who was born in 1927.

“There is a third dimension to traveling, the longing for what is beyond.”

So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine.

“It’s true.  Even though most travelers are thrilled to arrive at a new destination, they can’t wait to get to the next one.  Remember the travel bug that infected Michael Palin?  Well that same travel bug has caused a worldwide epidemic of travelers with eternal wanderlust.  It’s probably just human nature since most of us discover what we like, and then we want more of it, then something better, and then something different.  Success in traveling just adds fuel to the fire, and we just keep going.  We’re never satisfied!”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in July. I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
