Since we're reviving an old thread I'll put my two cents in.

I once did a wagontrain that took 7 weeks to travel through Idaho, Montana and into Canada. When we were ready to go home we jumped in the van and traveled back to where we'd started in a day. It just felt weird.
When I take time to do things slower (like in a wagon) it seems I have the time. But when I don't, it seems I never have the time to get everything done. (The two hours a day I spend trying to catch up on the 1,000's of posts here have Nothing to do with it.)
