Sometimes "travel" can mean a personal journey or trip that you take as a person.

I was truly grateful and blessed to go on a pilgrimage tour with Fr. Fernando Suarez.

after Holy Land we spent 3 days in Dubai and 1 day in Abu Dhabi.  my younger brother celebrated his birthday at the Burj Al Arab Hotel - the most luxurious hotel in the World. It's a once in a lifetime experience. (as for me, i still prefer the food variety at the Spiral restaurant.)

A Pilgrim's Prayer

If some things do not happen as they are scheduled,

Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


If I should get tired and inclined to become short tempered

Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


If my meal in a foreign country may not be to my particular liking,

Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


If any delays should occur and I should become anxious,

Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


If some other pilgrim is making noise so that I cannot hear the guide,

Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


When I ask that person to be a bit more quiet If someone takes a better seat or more choice place,

Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


If I find myself last in line or waiting, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


If the person in front of me buys the last item which I really wanted

Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


If I should get a chance to help another person, who always seems to be annoying me,

Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


If someone is always the "last one on the bus" and I am always on time,

Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!


But Lord especially let me remember that what I find objectionable in another is really what you oft times find objectionable in me

And let me remember this and forgive the other,

As you are continually forgiving me!

      Amen
