• The pursuit of joy in God is not optional.
  It is not an 'extra' that a person might grow into after he comes to
  faith. Until your heart has hit upon this pursuit your 'faith' cannot
  please God. It is not savng faith. Saving faith is the heartfelt
  conviction not only that Christ is reliable, but also that He is
  desirable.

That is now one of the major rules of smart travel - go when the tourists are NOT there, and even though you may have to don an extra layer of clothing, you will enjoy the sights and the experiences at the destination in the way that they were enjoyed before they became so well-known.
