I think about my pioneer ancestors taking months to cross the country instead of hours and I'm very grateful for the relative ease of modern travel.

I love the lonely shot of your suitcase. I have had my share of airport adventures that make for good stories later, but they don't feel like fun at the time. My goal is to have "uneventful" travel - everything on time, just as expected . . . but it seems to seldom happen.

I try to keep that in mind when I invariably am so tired on the days I travel! Oh, I have so been there! I love the lonely shot of your suitcase.
