When I asked

the British guy I briefly talked about his favorite aspect of travelling he admitted that it was the process of getting from one place to another, like the process of arranging the train tickets and then taking the train to the new destination. An odd and honest answer.

We were in Manali. I think I only talked to him that one time. He was sort of boring in disposition, but had interesting background information -- fluent in Chinese, had travelled in China. We were waiting for the Glacier to melt so we could head out of Manali and into Ladakh. I'd been there too long, and I gather he had too.

Oddly enough, after reading that post, I realize that it is that aspect of travel, not just the journey but the logistics and anticipation of movement, which may appeal to me most as well.
