Before anyone attacks, I am not a huge Rick Steves fan. I did however order a DVD and get e-mails from the website. This months letter from "Steve" was titled "Rick Steves: Fulfilling your travel dreams..." I found that this paragraph summed up very well the reasons why I love to travel:

"I find fulfillment through travel. Flying halfway around the globe to better understand another culture is the people-loving equivalent of a nature-lover hugging a tree. On the road, life is vivid. (After a three-week trip, I can recall every meal.) When I'm in Europe, I bolt out of bed, breathe deep, live a month in every day, make more friends, and fly home energized...fulfilled."

it means i'm not at work....

Wish I could find a quote from another supergeek like Bill Gates to go along with your supergeek Rick Steve's quote.

GoTravel, not to worry, have I got a quote for you!

"only during their honeymoon Bill Gates' wife found out why he named his company MicroSoft"

Too bad I don't know who's quote this is...

Thanks for the belly laugh Faina! I am wiping the tears off my cheeks!
