Cool poem by a poet that I like very much, Robert Frost. Actually the title is the Road Not Taken, but has been called The Road Less Traveled by some.
The road less traveled works better for me.
As I've already blogged, I think of myself as a free bird. I like traveling.
Flying is fine but you can't see anything along the way. The final destination is not the only thrill of seeing the world.
Most people take the interstate and that's fine. No stops along the way unless you absolutely want to stop is certainly appealling if you are trying to get somewhere quickly.
Myself, I like to take the road less traveled.
Some of my favorite vacation memories are driving cross country and looking at a map and just taking off on a lessor known highway.
There is almost nothing between Texas and California on the interstate highways. But, there are hundreds, if not thousands of beautiful sights along the way on the back roads.
The White Mountains of Arizona are breathtaking but not accessible from interstate highways.
I'll still take interstates because of time restraints, but given the choice, I'll take the road less traveled every time.

Sure would be nice to be financially free enough to get a travel van and just take my time seeing this beautiful country up close and personal!
One of my memories from when I was little and went on vacations you guys is that you liked to stop at all of the historical markers and read it. That was the first time I learned that traveling didn't have to be a race to the end point, but that you could learn something along the way.
