Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life - Michael Palin My dad is a pilot so I think I was born with the travel bug. - Isabel Lucas I've always traveled, as a kid my parents moved me around, a different place in Germany every four years. But I got the travel bug when I was a kid, living in different countries. - Dominic Monaghan

Domestic travel and tourism-related spending has reached $1 trillion a year. - Mark Foley The travel and tourism industry is the lifeblood of many states around the country - including Florida, California, New York and Nevada, to name a few. - Mark Foley The travel and tourism industry, it's just a huge part of our economy. - Karen Hughes

We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey. - John Hope Franklin What I find to be very bad advice is the snappy little sentence, 'Write what you know.' It is the most tiresome and stupid advice that could possibly be given. If we write simply about what we know we never grow. We don't develop any facility for languages, or an interest in others, or a desire to travel and explore and face experience head-on. We just coil tighter and tighter into our boring little selves. What one should write about is what interests one. - Annie Proulx

Travel agents would be wiser to ask us what we hope to change about our lives rather than simply where we wish to go. - Alain De Botton I have always thought that librarians are a little bit like doctors, travel agents and professors all rolled into one. We all know that a great story can lift spirits, take you anywhere in the world you want to go and in any time period to boot, and the lessons you learn from a good book can buoy your own convictions and even change your life. - Dorothea Benton Frank Sheer scholarship alone cannot reveal to us the gospel of grace. We must never allow the authority of books, institutions, or leaders to replace the authority of KNOWING Jesus Christ personally and directly. When the religious views of others interpose between us and the primary experience of Jesus as the Christ, we become unconvicted and unpersuasive travel agents handing out brochures to places we have never visited. - Brennan Manning

I used my aviation contacts to open a travel agency. I used to book Caribbean flights. - Joseph Force Crater I always enjoyed politics. I worked at the White House recently, primarily for the First Lady. Because of my experience running my travel agency, I was in charge of the files she kept on the Travel Office. - Joseph Force Crater Insomnia is an all-night travel agency with posters advertising faraway places. - Charles Simic

He had further narrowed his mind by a considerable amount of travel abroad, where he had again always made his way to the small hotels. - Patrick Hamilton When I travel abroad, because I'm Columbian, I'm always one that they check twice and security and I'm the one that they open my bag and the one they pull to the side to check the visa. - Sofia Vergara

I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them. - Mark Twain No one has the luxury of deciding "when" to travel; you wait prepared to travel whenever the border is open, which could be today, tomorrow or next week or three, four months from now. - Izzeldin Abuelaish The natural tenderness and delicacy of our constitution, added to the many dangers we are subject to from your sex, renders it almost impossible for a single lady to travel without injury to her character. And those who have a protector in a husband have, generally speaking, obstacles to prevent their roving. - Abigail Adams Stars are like people,.. just because they appear to emerge from the same point doesn't mean that they do. This is an illusion of perspective created by distance. Not all families manage to hold it together,..Everyone moves in different directions. That we all emerge from the same point is a misconception; to...

We are going to sign a treaty with Mexico. We are competing internationally. We need another international airport for international cargo, international travel, international businesses. - Richard M Daley Hazel: "God, you're the best," Augustus: "I bet you say that to all the boys who finance your international travel. - John Green Augustus," I said. "Really. You don't have to do this." "Sure I do," he said. "I found my Wish." "God, you're the best," I told him. "I bet you say that to all the boys who finance your international travel," he answered. - John Green It is my hope that this book will help to demystify the origins of travel writing and show that when thousands of travelers follow a guidebook word-for-word, recommendation-for-recommendation, it not only harms contemporary international travel but can also do serious harm to places in developing countries. - Thomas Kohnstamm

To bring up a child in the way he should go, travel that way yourself once in a while. - Josh Billings I'm interested to go other places, I've been the boy in the bubble since we've been shooting, I need to go travel a little bit, see where the action is, other than going to see family, of course. - George Eads If you're going to immerse yourself in a project for three years, why not stake out a chunk of the world that is completely alien to you and go traveling? - Richard Powers
