Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for March 24, 2016. 

It’s by John Priestley, a British author and playwright who lived from 1894 to 1984.

“A good holiday is one spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours.”

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

“It’s nice to dial back and get out of the rat race for a while.  But, I also don’t like to waste my time waiting for somebody else to get with the program.  Time is money, and when you’re traveling, the meter is always running.  But if your prime goal is relaxation, or just melting into the local culture and taking things as they come, then ‘slow travel’ is for you.  Instead of seven countries in seven days, how about staying in a village for a week or two.  Avoid the stress of trying to see and do everything.  Just enjoy the ambiance and environment of the place you visit and make a real connection to the people there.”

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!
