"""The why of our travel is curiosity, to experience new places, new people. It is not based on the physical, in fact physical holds only a minor part in this play. This travel is the geography of hearts, the vital center and source of our beings, emotions, and sensibilities."" ""I contemplated the future and regarded the past. It amazed me how 26 years had flown by. But how much had changed, really? How much had stayed the same? 'Never go back, ' my grandmother tearfully told me a long time ago. Her comment was upon visiting the home where she had grown up, a place she had known intimately. Our going back, our retrace, would be to places we had glimpsed for mere moments, rarely more than a few hours, but places that touched our hearts. I wondered if we would feel the same way."""
