Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for February 2, 2016. 

It’s by Yogi Berra, an American baseball player who’s in the Hall of Fame.  Yogi was born in 1925, survived the D-Day Invasion of World War II, and lived until 2015.

“We may be lost, but we’re making good time.”

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

“Yogi’s quotes always make sense, in a round-about way.  And, this one does too.  If you’re lost and going fast, you certainly might find the right way much sooner than if you were just dawdling along.  Whenever you visit a new place, chances are you will get lost.  But, unless you’re pressed for time or your safety is in question, getting lost can be lots of fun.  I always refer to it as ‘extra sightseeing’.  It’s also part of the serendipity of travel than enables you to discover interesting things and make great memories on you own.”  

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in February.  I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  And leave a comment.  I’d like to hear your thoughts too.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
