Here's a few other travel quotes to get the mind going:

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." -Poust

People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home. -Dagobert Runes

Only that traveling is good which reveals to me the value of home, and enables me to enjoy it better. -Thoreau

Rather see the wonders of the world abroad, than, living dully sluggardized at home, wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness. -Shakespeare

Every traveler has a home of his own, and he learns to appreciate it the more from his wandering. -Charles Dickens

The world is a great book, of which they that never stir from home read only a page. -St Augustine

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not. -Emerson

How'd you like those? :)

-Shawn
