Remembering 9/11
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 09.11.02 | 12:01 PM ET
Travel magazines exist to celebrate the foreign and unfamiliar. Rarely do they touch on the importance of home. But as much as we love to travel the globe, the events of September 11, 2001 reminded us, a couple of Americans, of just how much we care about home. I was in Thailand last September 11. A day later, stunned by the events, I wrote a letter about the feeling of alienation that had swept over me being so far away from the U.S. That word—home—came up again and again. Today, one year later, we believe more than ever in the power of travel. But we’re also thankful, at least for the moment, to be home.
