Travelling is not about the destination, it is about the journey; it is about the things you see, the events you experience, the people you meet, the places you visit, the satisfaction you obtain, and the lessons you learnt that matter the most.
And more often that not, the journey to your destination always feel longer and lonelier than the returning home part of it. We always have this talk in the car and we always quote my grandma's view point on this. She believes that all the creatures greet and welcome us on our way to our destination, like they are giving you 'salams' or something like that. Nevertheless, a really enjoyable journey will always feel like it is too short compared to a boring one. And I feel that I didn't get enough of this trip.
Happiness is not a station you arrive at. It is a manner of travelling.
~ Paul Theroux in Great Railway Bazaar
