Looking for the thrill

Whoever first coined the phrase "to travel hopefully is better than to arrive" was a blithering idiot.

cryptic. cool.

Well I never quite understood that phrase really. I mean it is IMO an illusion because if we're heading someplace and we're suddenly told the destination is changed or even worse, we don't get what we signed up for, I don't think I would see many thrilled faces. To me that expression is just a way to save your face and upholding some kind of dignity when you've been srewed over big time.

Not quite as bad as that, perhaps. There's always a chance of arriving where you want to be, or where you need to be. But yes, that's pretty close to it.

Yes for sure, if you do arrive where you're supposed to arrive it's all fine of course. Travelling in it self is a love/hate thing though... No matter what kind of travelling. ;)

Exactly.

It's all in the anticipation. Actually getting there can often be a disappointment

That's not been my experience. Then again, one of the reasons I love you is us being so different.

[huntingdon.livejournal.com]

That just means you choose your journeys wisely. :D

It means I've usually been bloody lucky, is what. I need to remind myself of that more often.
