So, I have finally succumbed to the traveling bug that has been ailing me for quite some time now, and it's time to let the trip planning begin. To get started, here is a nice quote to set the mood and some funny signs seen while traveling, taken from travelpuppy. Enjoy!"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints."
- Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), Scottish novelist, essayist and poet
