Noted travel author Jan Morris has a terrific how-to piece in this Sunday’s San Francisco Chronicle, featuring gems like this: “Never disregard anything,” she writes. “No sensation, no happening, no encounter, no experience at all, is irrelevant to the practice of travel. For myself I am perfectly happy to go to dentists in foreign lands (some foreign lands, anyway), because half an hour in the torture chair may do nothing for my toothache, but may well give me material. Nothing comes amiss to the practiced traveler.”
