From humanity’s origins in Africa, it took around 100,000 years to spread across the globe. The pace of that journey was decidedly less than ideal, and since then our feverish desire to move ourselves around the globe have led to amazing technological advances. Wind powered boats eventually criss-crossed the Atlantic, each journey taking only half a year. Covered wagons could put you in Oregon in a matter of months. The Trans-Continental Railroad brought that trek down to four days; and now the Cannonball run has it down to Twenty-Five hours, but even that is obsolete after the creation of air-travel. Nonetheless, traveling takes time. Our ancestors knew this and our Uber drivers know this, yet humankind is not known for patience. My flight says it will land at noon, so I can be at Six Flags after that. When the world seems so small, have we completely forgotten about the journey? Please remain seated with Veronique and Mat as we go over the sanity protocols of scheduling Travel Days!
