Seasoned airplane passengers, like me, are familiar with the banal stories of canceled flights, being stuck in the terminal for hours, and misplaced baggage. The tales are diversified with missed connecting flights after layovers and more waiting after waiting.
Agh! Frustration is a recurrent sentiment for us travelers. Our only consolation is a dose of our favorite joe with a delish clubhouse sandwich. Given the exasperation that airport experience brings, why do we still travel? Me, I don’t mind the flying. Though I’m a frequent traveler, the thought of being 40,000 feet above the ground just awes me to no end. Maybe it’s the physics behind it that keeps me agog. Anyway, despite the bumps at the airport and stress that go with traveling, we do it and we will do it again and again, because we love doing it.

For many of us, anticipating a trip is almost as exciting as actually being at our destination. We imagine the trip will be one that will bring us to wonderful places, show us great food, and let us meet unique people—all contributing to a lifetime of memories. Every travel experience satisfies me no matter how tedious the transit from one place to another or the circumstances.
Meanwhile, we can never ignore the fact that traveling creates such an impact in our lives. This article put it well when it explained the benefits of flying and travel. I totally agree with this writer. As a writer, I find that traveling gives me more perspective about the world and myself. Thus, every one of my travels embodies a unique story to tell.
