Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for 
July 31st!

It’s by Antoine de Saint Exupéry, the French writer, poet, and author of “The Little Prince”.  He was also a World War II pilot with the Free French Air Force.  He lived from 1900 to 1994.

“He who would travel happily must travel light.”

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

“This should be obvious to everyone.  But I’ve seen many people, even those traveling around Europe for weeks at a time on a Eurailpass, trying to handle a couple of large rolling bags as well as a smaller one for good measure.  Can you guess their gender?  Yes, that’s correct.  Anything that doesn’t fit into a rolling bag that can be stored in a plane’s overhead bin and a handbag or small day pack that goes under the seat should be left at home.  Just try walking around the block with it.  If that tires you, just think what will happen on a lengthy trip that covers multiple destinations!”

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!
