The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

- An unanswered
question
- Is it too much to ask if you want to know
whether the plane you're flying is banned in one European country or
another? It shouldn't be, now that an Egyptian plane deemed unsafe by
Swiss aviation authorities since 2002 crashed into the Red Sea.

- The journey
continues
- Amid war, terror in the
Middle East and SARS in Asia, after having not-quite-nearly drowned in
a kayaking trip, I'm doing the only thing I care to do: setting off on
yet another transoceanic trek.

- The ultimate journey
- This traveler humbly salutes the crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia,
and all those who have gone where few have gone before.

- Terror
in October
- Evil has many faces, and madness
is its most inexplicable countenance. In one month, chaos descended
not just upon Israel and Palestine but, of all places, Finland and
Bali.

- Ride the
train, and rein in your feelings
- A train journey across western Europe is
at once as prosaic as a daily commute, and as profound as a rite of
passage for all innocents abroad. Long may one rue its failings,
however rarely.

- Resolve
at Anacapa
- Sacred is a narrow stretch of the Pacific Ocean between Ventura,
California and Anacapa Island. Where a jet liner crashed to the watery
depths, I found a reaffirmation to life in my one-man kayak.

- A
final word
- Recounting my own harrowing travel anecdotes,
here is where I explain why I will go on the proverbial road. Wherever
it may end, I shall find no regrets.
