“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends.  You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal, or what we imagine of it.” C. Pavese

Glad your trip has unfolded without hitch -- sounds wonderful as per the norm at Park West! (and you weren't directly implicated in Guzman's capture there in Michoacan ;-)

On the subject of travel quotes (you can go to my blog and select the 'travel' tag to give many more) here's a favorite from Boulderite, Hakim Bey (aka Peter Wilson):

"One fundamental key to success in Travel is of course attentiveness. We call it «paying attention» in English & «prêter attention» in French (in Arabic, however, one gives attention) suggesting that we’re as stingy with our attentiveness as we are with our money. Quite often it seems that no one is «paying attention», that everyone is hoarding their consciousness—what? saving it for a rainy day?—and damping down the fires of awareness lest all available fuel be consumed in a single holocaust of unbearable knowing." -- Hakim Bey, "Overcoming Tourism"
