Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for February 9, 2016. 

It’s by Helen Hayes, an American actress who was an Oscar, Emmy, and Tony award winner.  Helen Hayes lived from 1900 to 1993.

“When traveling with someone, take large doses of patience and tolerance with your morning coffee.”

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

“We all have our weird habits and other assorted likes and dislikes.  Normally, family and friends overlook ours, and we overlook theirs, and, if everybody gets enough space, harmony prevails.  But, when you’re traveling together, the world constricts.  The space is gone both in elbow room and in time spent apart.  For example, two people traveling together make lots of decisions that end in a 1 to 1 tie, so somebody loses, and nobody likes to be the loser, especially on a frequent basis.  So be considerate of your travel mates, and have fun!”

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!
