Mark Twain is one of my favorite writers. And he is right about travel.
While serving in the Navy on an aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War, I traveled all over Southeast Asia. Later, serving on a Navy harbor tugboat at the U.S. nuclear submarine base at Holy Loch, Scotland, I traveled all over the United Kingdom and Continental Europe.
As a Defense Department civilian for many years, I traveled to Washington D.C. many times, and I traveled all across the country as well.
Since I've been married, I traveled to Jamaica (many times) and other Carribean islands with my wife. We have also traveled to San Antonio, Texas and Sacramento, California to visit our daughter.
Travel has certainly broadened my outlook on life.
BTW, I happen to now be reading Ron Chernow’s Mark Twain.
A fine biography of the late, great humorist and novelist.
