Which one is the most important and why?

Depend on the person. Some hate the travel and just want to be there. Others (like myself) enjoy the travel and getting to the destination is only part of the trip.

But it sure is good to get back home

Yeah, as they say, home is where the heart is. But in the grand scheme of life, which would you say is more important?

Thought I answered that already. I like the travel. Usually about 6k miles up and down the east coast each year. Stops in places like Savana or Charleston. Plus travel for work. Most recently 10 days in China and the year before a month in England (York is a great city to walk around)

Sorry, I misunderstood. Cool!

The destination is important because it's where you want to go, but once there, what will remain for you is how you got there and all you did, which probably will be more important than where you arrive. Although the people may only see your destination and ignore all you did before.

The next step.

All depends on what the destination is. And who you go with

Very true. Fellowship is very important on any adventure

The journey could be enjoyable, but it could also be terrible. At the same time, you should always learn something on the journey. Destinations are the reason for a journey though, and without a destination you'll just wander about aimlessly, so my answer is the destination.

Very true, one should always learn something on the journey, but I agree that the destination is the reason for the adventure. Good insights!

The pit stops!

Haha! Fair

But the journey is fun too because you can smoke a lot of bowls of sweet sweet dank.

Again, very fair.

Lol

both

Oh dear, it’s taking me back to when I first played The Stanley Parable...

Both! #Tolkien

XD True though!!

I think it is the journey because it really is who you meet along the journey and the scenic drives you can go on while you are on a journey.

Yeah, true!

Depends on what you are doing. If it is a competition then the journey will be the competing part so that is more important. If you are on a way to a meeting then the destination is more important.

The journey

I think that often it's the journey that prepares you for the destination. For example, in LOTR, we see that throughout the story several characters learn many things, about both themselves and the world around them. I'm pretty sure that if Frodo and Sam had somehow been able to take an easy road with no difficulties or hardships along the way, they would never have developed the strength (both physical and emotional) to make it through Mordor to the fiery mountain.

Precisely. I agree wholeheartedly. The Shire and the lands beyond would have been enslaved had the hobbits not had the experiences they did or not even been prepared adequately for the destination. But they are equally important, in my eyes, so it is so hard to choose!!

Destination

Depends on both the journey and the destination and the given situation.

Well if I'm on a 5 hour plane ride to go to Disneyland I'd say the festival

How did destination autocorrect to festival I have no idea

Probably you typed festi instead of desti and the phone did the rest

Baby 🤷

For me it's the destination. The first hour of the road trip is fine, but every hour gets progressively worse and worse until you're at the last hour or so when you're almost there. But depends where you're at, I live in Vegas so anything 3 hours within here is gonna be desert with boring small towns. Once there's a change in terrain or the desert simply looks different it gets interesting.

I kind of thought of this as a different way too, that you may not have been actually meaning road trips. Like you meant reaching a goal or something. In that case, I say the journey is more important because you learn from past mistakes that didn't get you there that'll help you next time.

Yeah, I meant both.Thanks for your answer, it's pretty though-provoking.
