Headin' South

Packing and preparing for Disney World! So excited, but super busy. To occupy your mind for a minute or two, some of my favorite travel quotes:



When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.
~Susan Heller


There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
~Orson Welles

(I actually love flying, but yes, there is a good amount of boredom)


Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
~Mark Twain



Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of everyday, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. Travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.
~Freya Stark
