A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.– Lao Tzu.
I will admit that traveling with no plans would freak me out. Yet, I have friends who can just get in the car and head somewhere and are perfectly content to stop when a place looks interesting. They have no reservations, no time plans, and in some cases no destination. I see the attraction, and understand that traveling in that fashion would allow one to be more observant and learn a great deal more. (I have trouble pulling over for a ‘roadside marker.’).
I may have to take such a trip. It would get me out of my shell. What do you think?
A couple of years ago we took a 5,000 mile trip out west. We only had reservations in Cheyenne, WY, Jackson Hole, WY and Whitefish, MT – it took 3 weeks and the rest of the time it was simply stopping when and where we wanted to. It’s a great way to travel.
Webb, it sounds fun & very relaxing!
