Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for March 19, 2016. 

It’s by Sir Richard Burton, an Englishman and African Explorer.  He lived from 1821 to 1890.

 “The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands. The blood flows with the fast circulation of childhood.”

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

“It’s true.  Little kids get excited about everything from a sore finger to a ride to the grocery store.  Adults are different.  As we get older, our daily, and even annual, routine becomes boring, and we spend a lot of our life on automatic pilot.  When it comes to travel, we’ve often ‘been there and done that’.  But, visiting ‘unknown lands’ gets our juices flowing.  Once again, we are curious, anxious, excited, and thrilled to be discovering something new.  So plan your next adventure well, and the let the wild anticipation make you feel as giddy and happy as when you were a kid.”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in March.  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!
