Essentials only. Portable stuff. Restricted carry-on.
Off we go. Leaving behind the desk top, roof top and all the stuff on the counter-top.
While traveling, we put on more weight. Eating “lesser-of-the-two-evils” choice of foods.
Meeting and making small talks with people we had never met.
It’s a thrill nevertheless. The exchange of goods and services. People come with it, to wheel and deal. To be the middle man. Silk road to railroad, Shanghai to San Fran.
We toss and turn. The vessels are not designed for sleep comfort. Want that, you have to go to the nearest Mattress Discounter. I was told the internal combustion engine was really hot inside. No wonder, in the heat of summer, it is only getting worse, even with coolant and freon to insulate us. One more reason for the switch to electric vehicles.

They can bring out the best or worst in us.
Dreamers, Doers or Nay Sayers.
Take that road trip, or that rail track.
Just be mindful that with thrill, comes (price) tags.
And pick your travel mates carefully. It’s going to be a long and winding road. But short, if in good company. That’s a thrill in itself, who you are with.
