Travelling for Beginners - to Kathmandu in '72

Chapter 1
Okay.
So what would you do?
What would you do with your three-score-years-and-ten on a rock and water planet, circumference 24,000 miles and thirty per cent land cover?
Would you stick with the places and things you were born to, happy to get by, avoiding disasters, accumulating a few comforts and possessions to flaunt to those of similar disposition while you peeped out just occasionally at the wider world?
Or would you look around a bit, take more time than is allowed by convention, time enough to range over horizons and see, and perhaps get to know, more? Would discovery be the food of the spirit while convention and its constrictions be the death? Would doing things be more important than having things to the point where, given the bare necessities, what might be around the next corner held greater promise than any figure on the bottom line?
Well, each to his own.
