That reminds me of a thought I had once. I travel a lot and it occurred to me that I should keep a travel journal about where I had been, what I had seen, and what I thought about it all. It didn't work. When I am having fun, I don't want to sit down and write about it. I guess I think that I can remember it all and write it down later. That doesn't work either. I take pictures and sometimes I can't remember what it is or where it was or why I took the picture. But I have fun traveling and that's why I go. When I fly, or ride a train, and even on the highway, I am looking out the window all the time. I never get tired of watching the world go by. I think I have flown across the USA and back at least 30 times, but I still look out the window, even at 39,000 feet. There is just no time to write about what I see. It's too bad, because I would enjoy reading my old travel journals, if I had any.

I've heard people sat that airplanes fly so high, you can't see anything. Rubbish. I can remember seeing lightning at night, lighting up the inside of towering cumulus clouds. I have seen Washington D.C. from so high the buildings and monuments looked like toys. I have seen the sun rise above a layer of clouds early in the morning and the moon turning the cloud tops blue at night.
I have seen snow capped mountains sticking out of stratus clouds, and a plume of steam rising from a volcano 100 miles away. I have seen mountains covered with black and white striped glaciers and circles of irrigated crops miles below. At night, small towns look like a bed of hot coals in a dying campfire. I have seen all of the Great Lakes, Great Salt Lake, Lake Okeechobee, Lake Tahoe, the Carribean, Cape Cod Bay, Long Island Sound, The Gulf of Mexico, and both the Atlantic and Pacific, all from more than 30,000 feet. You can't fly too high to enjoy the view.
