I'm hoping to sleep for much of the flight as I can, which is a red-eye. Julianne Honisch and Christine Hintermeyer have kindly offered to pick us up in Frankfurt. ESPECIALLY kind considering our flight gets in at 6:50 a.m.! (To Ju & Christine: Um, my suitcase is going to be bigger than the one in the cartoon above.) Jeff and I had some dim sum on Yonge St., then went browsing at HMV and Chapters-Indigo. He's promised not to throw out too many things while I'm away. :-) Have a great week, everyone, and looking forward to seeing some of you at the castle! Some travel quotes: "I think that travel comes from some deep urge to see the world, like the urge that brings up a worm in an Irish bog to see the moon when it is full." ~ Lord Dunsany "The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." ~ St. Augustine "The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing.'" ~ Daniel J. Boorstin "Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage." ~ Regina Nadelson "Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness." ~ Ray Bradbury "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." ~ Mark Twain "To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries." ~ Aldous Huxley
