A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.  ~Lao Tzu

It is not down in any map; true places never are.  ~Herman Melville

Hannah and I came across this quote during one of our late-night information-gathering internet sessions. This will be hanging somewhere on the walls in of our new trailer when we get it.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

~ Mark Twain
