"Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process; a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, and exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. Tour masters, schedules, reservations, brass-bound and inevitable, dash themselves to wreckage on the personality of the trip. Only when this is recognized can the blown-in-the-glass bum relax and go along with it. Only then do the frustrations fall away. In this a journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think that you control it." John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: in search of AmericaOoh, I want to go on a road trip so badly. Maybe in April.
