5 Days to go!

Why do we travel?  Is it to try and create a storehouse of pleasant memories which we hope to draw on later?  Or is it for the current experience?  Is it to try and cement ties with family?  Is family bonding likely to be better in alien surroundings?  Would we choose to travel if all memories and reminders of the trip were to be erased on return?

Exchanged Rs for Euros yesterday.  An obscenely obese pile of currency was replaced by the slimmest possible wad.

Why blog about travel?  My daughter wants me to write for her 9 -year- old friends.  My son, who is seventeen, is looking for ways to delete all attempts at "creativity" (symptoms of an early stage of dementia).  My wife feels I should not be writing nonsense when I could be helping her pack yet another suitcase.

Should a blog be provocative? Or should it be harmless and civil?
