Travel...Why I'm So Addicted

I read this a few weeks ago, and it says it better than I ever could:

"...that one vacation changed her forever. Of course, perhaps that's the experience we all secretly--and not so secretly--crave when we travel: the chance to be transformed. Henry Miller once perceptively commented, "One's destination is never a place rather a new way of looking at things," but with all due deference to Mr. Miller, to my mind a new way of being is what really makes us head off into the unknown."
