General Travel
Given our druthers, we would all
whip up and down the twisting roads on the Amalfi Drive in a Ferrari,
or window shop on Rodeo Drive from a Rolls Royce. We would sail the
seas in the most luxurious yacht or cruise ship, fly from city to city
in a private plane.
When druthers are in short supply
and the Ferrari becomes a hitchhiker's thumb, the yacht turns into a
rowboat, the private plane becomes travel by standby, we sigh, but we
don't complain. We love motion.
We travel for business, but dream
about vacations. The opportunity to travel -in or out of a Ferrari -
is our greatest gift, and the souvenirs we bring home are knowledge,
awareness, a deeper understanding that all people are the same in their
hearts, that only the particulars vary from place to place. Travel to
Italy and you will find the art of Leonardo and Michelangelo, take a
tour of Ireland and follow the path Leopold Bloom walked in Joyce's
Ulysses. We taste the foods of different countries and long to
reproduce them at home. Our horizons are expanded, and food is kind
to us - if we can't reproduce a dish exactly, we can approximate. When
we sit to eat the country is with us, the people are there.
Vacations take us away from cities.
In rustic surroundings we settle under tents and eat roughhewn meals
made memorable for their effort, not their taste. These are the vacation
memories we laugh about, and in the laughter we remember the stars overhead.
The articles listed here will have
us all booking airplane tickets, making hotel reservations, daydreaming
about the next vacation. Some are about vacations and others are about
living away from home. Go for it whether on a bike or in a Ferrari.
