That video is spot on. I remember the first, and only time I went on a cruise. The #1 thing I remember from that trip was during a multi-day trip across the open waters of the Caribean... on that trip I was on our balcony and saw the deepest blue water I'd ever seen. In a moment I went from hearing about or reading poetry that talked about an indigo blue sea... to FEELING it.

Same when I first came out of the tunnel that leads from the busy Honolulu side of Oahu to the North shore side... and you experience those rugged cliffs and waterfalls for the first time and realize this sprung up out of the depths of the Ocean and has been here longer than me and will be here long after me.

Or when I went to Haiti on a mission trip back in high school and watched as the little village kids played soccer barefoot in a filed full of sticks and briars.. and laughed the whole time.

Yeah, you don't travel to see the world, you travel to feel it and to BE a part of it.
