If you don’t know where you’re going, you’re there.

The thesis of this book is that traveling on the loose and on the cheap is about the least boring way to spend your time. Not knowing where you’re going, you pay more attention to where you are, wherever that is. This time it’s the U.S.A., a place you’d better pay attention to.

Time Versus Money: We say that time is money, meaning both are valuable. Both are a form of power. Usually there is a reciprocal relationship between them; that is, abundance of money seems to go along with shortage of time, and abundance of time with shortage of money. Money is the wealth of the materialist, and works miracles in the realm of the physical. Time is the wealth of the pilgrim, and works miracles in all realms.
