This is the quote that zings: "She is a cosmopolitan of the first order. Now that she has sampled enough from the travel trough, she is here to scold others who dare do the same. Better to stay home, she says, after spending almost a half century doing the opposite."

“After all, you say to yourself, the whole point of travelling is to break out of the confines of everyday life. But, if you usually avoid museums, and suddenly seek them out for the purpose of experiencing a change, what are you going to make of the paintings? You might as well be in a room full of falcons.”

What an immensely irritating sentiment. Anyway, I look forward to my next trip.
