I like to wander. I don't care what I see. It is all about the journey.

I am all about the destination. I don't linger.

I just got back from South Dakota and i learned something interesting. I met a lady who wanted to join me on the trip. I sent her my itinerary and the places i wanted to visit. She said thanks and with that I thought she agreed to the plan. NOPE.

She said that it was about the journey for her and not the destination. Well for me it is ALL about the destination because I am not coming back more than likely. I make a list and I stick to it.

It caused major problems. My question is are you a wanderer or destination kind of person?

It's like my trips to a supermarket. I start with a shopping list of maybe 10 items, but come home with 20 or 30 items. And, often without one or two that were on that original list.

Or like in a restaurant, what I see other people eating often triggers my own choice. So whether shopping or eating, it's the whole experience, and feeling my way as the options unfold, but hopefully without forgetting why I am there.

Who I'm there with is also important. That's part of the journey. If they want to hijack my experience it's best to go our separate ways and meet back up later, if at all.
