105 Vacation Captions for Your Next Travel-inspired Instagram Post

Enhance your best travel photos with these clever quotes and funny lines — perfect for any destination.

Since 1971, Travel + Leisure editors have followed one mission: to inform, inspire, and guide travelers to have deeper, more meaningful experiences. T+L's editors have traveled to countries all over the world, having flown, sailed, road tripped, and taken the train countless miles. They've visited small towns and big cities, hidden gems and popular destinations, beaches and mountains, and everything in between. With a breadth of knowledge about destinations around the globe, air travel, cruises, hotels, food and drinks, outdoor adventure, and more, they are able to take their real-world experience and provide readers with tried-and-tested trip ideas, in-depth intel, and inspiration at every point of a journey.

In the age of social media, there's a lot of pressure to be a wordsmith and create the perfect eye-catching travel post in real time. You've already got the breathtaking photos for Instagram; now you just need a suitable caption to wrap up your experiences.

Crafting your posts might even detract from being in the moment. To avoid this, instead of uploading photos throughout the day, try doing it before bed — or even as a post-vacation roundup. Keep the apps closed while you're enjoying an experience and turn off notifications to minimize distractions. Remember to use ethical posting practices, like avoiding geotags that could harm a destination or its locals — both people and wildlife.

With great photos and travel-inspired quotes and one-liners at the ready, every traveler can share witty posts — no matter the destination. Below, get some inspiration or borrow one of these vacation captions for Instagram.

Why Your Captions Matter

In the very beginning, Instagram used to be mostly a visual platform where people would share photography. Over the years, Instagram has developed and it has become a place to connect with others get to know one’s personality. The launch of videos and Instagram stories makes it so much easier to get to know someone.

However, Instagram feed posts are still the best and longest lasting way to share your beautiful photos. And this is where captions play an important role. Especially if you are an aspiring travel influencer, you are going into an already saturated market and in addition to creating great Instagram photography , having a memorable caption can really help you stand out and grow your Instagram account .

People on Instagram are looking for more than pretty photos – they are looking to connect and the best way to connect is by showing them your personality. Are you funny and always cracking jokes? Do you want to inspire people? Are you a motivator? This list of 365 Instagram travel captions covers all types of captions to help your personality shine through in your Instagram posts!

Guidelines and Limits of Instagram Captions

Instagram has certain guidelines and restrictions when it comes to writing captions. It is always helpful to keep these in mind and make sure you are not exceeding any of the limits and risk your post being deleted or worse – an Instagram account block .

These are Instagram caption limits to keep in mind:

• Instagram caption character limit (with spaces): 2,200 characters
• Instagram hashtags limit: 30 hashtags
• Instagram bio character limit: 150 characters (including emojis)
• Instagram username character limit: 30 characters
• Number of accounts you can tag in your photo: 20 in a normal post, 15 in a carousel post

Tips for Writing a Great Instagram Travel Caption

How do you actually write a compelling Instagram travel caption? What are the most important things you need to do to capture your audience’s attention and make them hit that “read more” button? These are my best tips on writing a great Instagram caption.

The first sentence is the most important! This is what the reader will see first and your goal is to capture their attention so they click “read more”. If your first sentence is not compelling, they may not read your entire story and you have missed an opportunity to connect with them.

Ask a question. One of the best ways I found to have an engaged audience is to ask them questions in my captions. Everyone loves to talk about themselves and asking them a question is a great way to learn more about your audience and to increase your travel post engagement.

Do not use swear words! The Instagram algorithm is designed to detect swear words and will block your post.

Add a Call to Action. Think about capturing the attention of your readers and directing your Instagram audience to your latest blog post, your Instagram stories, Instagram guides, or anything you would love them to read. An example is “make sure you check out my latest blog post about the best budget hotels in the Maldives. Link in bio.”

Use hashtags beneath your caption. If you add hashtags within your caption, it reduces readability and you have a greater chance of losing the attention of your audience.

Use emojis! Emojis are so fun and are a great way to share emotions in addition to the caption. If you think about it, have you ever skipped a post that started with a broken heart or crying emoji? It symbolizes a heart-felt story is being shared and you likely want to read it. Make sure you add a relevant emoji in the first 2 lines of your caption to capture the attention of your audience. Emojis in the middle of the caption also help to break down the content into easily readable sections.

Use shorter sentences and breaks. People don’t like to read large blocks of text. It’s not appealing to the eye and they will skip reading your post. If you want your readers to read your entire caption, make sure to use short sentences and break up your text in paragraphs. You will have a higher retention rate if your text is nicely formatted and not just one big pile of words.

A great tip for writing your captions is to write them in your notes and prior to posting, copy the caption into an online line break tool so that it will preserve your spacing in the caption. That way Instagram won’t delete your spaces and you have a visually appealing caption.

Another option is to choose the shortest Instagram caption of all! Try one of these 400+ One Word Instagram Captions , including a travel section!

The 107 BEST Travel Instagram Captions (2024 List)

Picture yourself at the top of a mountain. A mountain you’ve traveled long and far to get to. The journey was challenging. But now, with the breathtaking horizon before you, it was all worth it. You snap (what you believe) are some of the best pictures of your life and call it a day.

Once back at your hotel room, you post your shots on Instagram and wait for lots of likes, comments, and engagement… However, these never arrive.

You get 1 or 2 dry likes from your mother and significant other – people who always seem to like everything you post.

Disappointed, you throw your phone on the bed, thinking, “people out there simply have no taste”.

What Makes Great Travel Instagram Captions?

It used to be that posting cool travel pictures on Instagram was enough. People would enjoy the content, like and comment, and sometimes… even share.

That is (usually) no longer the case.

Great travel Instagram captions alongside great photos and videos are now a must-have.

However, not just any Instagram caption will cut it. You need the right “Nomadic Narratives” to take your content to the next level.

Here are the best tips and tricks for creating these types of narratives.

Using Emojis Effectively

Nomadic Narratives rely on emojis to bring out the emotions.

Emojis can transform multiple words and phrases and boil them down to a single symbol. This symbol represents your best feelings as you explore new countries and touch down in different destinations.

However, a word of warning.

Do not go overboard with emojis. Too many and you’ll lose people. If your viewers need to take time to figure out what you’re saying, chances are you’ve gone overboard.

The right dosage of emojis is the first key to building Nomadic Narratives.

Leveraging Trending Topics

Nomadic Narratives are all about trending topics. These topics grab people’s interest and, most importantly, cause them to stop scrolling their Instagram feeds.

The question then becomes, “what does a trending topic look like?”

The short answer is that it’s a popular topic that’s talked about by a large group of people.

This could be a new destination opening up, the start of the summer travel season, or even a specific food that locals have just discovered.

What’s important is that you find a way to combine your images and videos with the trending topic in your caption.

After all, you want your Nomadic Narratives to be relevant to your content.

Here’s a quick example.

Let’s take the “start of summer” as a trending topic. If you’re posting a picture of yourself at the beach, you could have a caption that says:

Kicking off summer with some sun, sand and sea! 🌴 #NomadicNarratives #SummerStartsNow

The best way to stay on top of this is to watch out for current events and then use them as inspiration.

Incorporating Storytelling Elements

The ‘narrative’ part in Nomadic Narratives isn’t there by accident.

People use stories to share their experiences with others. Traveling is no different.

Your Instagram followers want to know the juicy details about your trip:

• Did the trip go according to plan?
• What were any unexpected incidents?
• How did you deal with them?
• What did you learn from them?
• How will you plan better next time?

Addressing the above questions in the form of a story is critical. This applies to any type of content you create online. Nomadic Narratives are no different.

You can also consider the 5W’s and 1H or narrative. The 5Ws are Who, What, Where, When, and Why. The 1H is How.

Using as many of these elements means you’ll make your content more engaging and relatable for your audience.

Tailoring Your Nomadic Narratives To Fit Your Audience

Finally, consider that your Nomadic Narratives are specific to your audience. There’s no point in having specialized captions that your audience can’t relate to.

Here’s an example scenario:

• you’re a travel agent
• catering to middle-aged people
• your audience wants to book a once-in-a-lifetime cruise around the Mediterranean.

Quite a specific target audience.

In this case, you can’t have Nomadic Narratives that say: “Hey, budget travelers, get ready for your backpacking adventure!”

This would not resonate with your audience (at all).

Instead, you want to have narratives like:

“Indulge in luxury travel with our exclusive cruise packages. Experience the world like never before with our top-notch amenities and personalized service.”

This shows you understand your audience’s wants and needs and can satisfy them.

This concept also applies to personal Instagram accounts. If you’re a 20-year-old traveling solo for the first time (and your audience resonates with this), don’t use captions that don’t align with your target audience.

A great caption might be:

Exploring the world one destination at a time on a shoestring budget! #travelonabudget

On the other hand, a bad one might be:

Jet-setting around the world in first class, living my best life. #blessed

There’s an obvious disconnect in the second example.

Writing travel Instagram captions to capture people’s emotions is a must.

Done right (in this world of endless scrolling), your captions take your followers on an amazing journey.

Combining captions from the right travel category above and using the Nomadic Narrative tips I gave you, you’ll be able to write compelling captions that leave your audience wanting more.

Long and Poetic Travel Captions

This collection of travel captions is perfect for when you’re feeling a little extra nostalgic and a short witty Instagram caption just doesn’t fit the bill. These travel Instagram captions are mainly about the importance of making travel happen and the transformation one goes through when you dive head first into a great adventure.

1.   “I urge you to travel. As far and as much as possible. Work ridiculous shifts to save your money.  Go without the latest iPhone. Throw yourself out of your comfort zone.  Find out how other people live and realize that the world is a much bigger place than the town you live in. And when you come home, home may still be the same. Yes, you may go back to the same old job, but something in your mind will have changed. And trust me, that changes everything.”  – Victoria Egerer

2.   “I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”  – Bill Bryson

3.   “My confession is I fall in love with so many places I’m always half broken-hearted by goodbyes. And I don’t believe in non-attachment. There’s no passion inside of that. I believe in burning, and longing. And I believe we leave tiny pieces of ourselves in every place we’ve loved.”  – Victoria Erickson

4.   “Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” – Mark Jenkins

5.  “Although I do love oceans, deserts, and other wild landscapes, it is only mountains that beckon me with the sort of painful magnetic pull to walk deeper and deeper into their beauty. They keep me continuously wanting to know more, feel more, see more. To become more.”  – Victoria Erickson

6.  “This is why once you’ve traveled for the first time all you want to do is leave again. They call it the travel bug, but really it’s the effort to return to a place where you are surrounded by people who speak the same language as you. Not English or Spanish or Mandarin or Portuguese. But the language where others know what i’s like to leave, change, grow, experience, learn. Then go home again and feel more lost in your hometown than you did in the most foreign place you visited. This is the hardest part about traveling, and it’s the very reason why we all run away again.” – Unknown

7.   “Travel. Make Memories. Have Adventures. Because I guarantee that when you’re 85 and on your death bed you won’t think about that flashy car you bought, or the twenty pairs of designer shoes you owned. But you will think about that time you got lost in your favorite city. The nights you spent falling in love under the stars and all the beautiful people you met along the way. You’ll think of the moments that made you feel truly alive. And at the very end, those memories will be the only valuable possessions you own.”  – EKP

8.  “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” ―Anthony Bourdain

9.   “Traveling messes you up, but in all the good ways. It leaves you always craving more, an addiction that can never quite be met. Every place, every trip, every person is a new adventure; pulling you deeper into the love of wanderlust. Your heart begins to hurt when you’re standing still, and your mind begins to itch over the idea of new places you haven’t been. Fill your soul with adventure and traveling and you will live a fulfilled life.” – Unknown

10.   “The best part about airports lies in what they symbolize. Airports are places of bookends: new beginnings and long-awaited endings, arrivals and departures, hellos and goodbyes. We start in one city to end in another hundreds or thousands of miles away. You enter from a desert and exit into a blizzard. In from winter, out into summer. In from familiarity, out into something completely foreign. Or vice versa. An airport is a place of transit, and not just geographically. I wish there was some sort of time-lapse to show how people change between departures and arrivals. When I arrive back home from being away, I’m never the same person as when I left.” – Unknown

Short Travel Captions

Whether you’re searching for travel inspiration or a witty Instagram caption, there’s something here for everyone. I included a nice mix of short travel captions meant to motivate and inspire, as well as a quotes for the solo traveler, adventurer, and avid road tripper .

Add one of these short travel captions under your latest Instagram post or pin to your Pinterest to save for later!

Famous Travel Quotes

Famous travellers and writers like Mark Twain, Anthony Bourdain and Alex Garland all have famous quotes about travel and adventure. They get used a lot in Instagram captions for travel but because they are classic travel quotes, so let’s start with them!

Travel is not a reward for working, it’s education for living. – Anthony Bourdain

If I’d learnt one thing from travelling, it was that the way to get things done was to go ahead and do them. Don’t talk about going to Borneo. Book a ticket, get a visa and it just happens. – Alex Garland

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain

If happiness is the goal, and it should be. Then adventure should be a priority. – Richard Branson

If you’re 22, physically fit, hungry to learn. I urge you to travel as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live, eat and cook. Learn from them wherever you go. – Anthony Bourdain

For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven’t tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience, and if it hurts you, you know what? It’s probably worth it.   – Alex Garland

Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it breaks your heart. But that’s ok, the journey changes you, it should change you. It leaves marks on your heart and on your body. You take something with you and hopefully you leave something good behind. – Anthony Bourdain

Short Travel Quotes

Short, sharp and simple travel quotes are very effective on Instagram when writing your caption for travelling. Some are travel meme quotes which often act as funny travel quotes, some are funny beach captions , and others are short travel quotes to keep people interested and inspired!

Not all those who wander are lost.

I’ve left my heart in so many places.

I followed my heart and it led me to the airport.

A ship in a harbour is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.

Life is short and the world is wide.

I’m in love with cities I’ve never been to and people I’ve never met.

Travel the world so you don’t get lost.

If you think travel is dangerous, try routine. It’s lethal.

I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.

You must go on adventures to find out where you truly belong.

Blessed are the curious for they shall always have adventures.

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

No reason to stay is a good reason to go.

So much of who we are is where we have been.

I’m a travel addict on the road to recovery. Just kidding. I’m on the road to the airport.

Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.

This heart of mine was made to travel the world.

Follow your soul, it knows the way.

Only when I travel do I feel like I’m truly living.

To travel is to realise people are wrong about other countries.

Solo Travel Quotes

If you’re looking for travel alone quotes and inspiration to travel solo, these quotes will get you ready to book that solo trip and reduce your nerves.

Travelling alone will be the scariest, most liberating, life-changing experience of your life. Try it at least once.

As you travel solo, being totally responsible for yourself, it’s inevitable that you will discover how capable you are.

If you never go, you will never know.

I love the feeling of being anonymous in a city I’ve never been  before.

You never really travel alone, the world is full of friends waiting to get to know you.

If you are waiting for someone to travel with you, you may end up waiting a lifetime. Just go.

Travel far enough you meet yourself.

Wanderlust Quotes

Wanderlust means ‘a strong desire to travel’ so here are the top wanderlust quotes for Instagram that you can use in your captions!

Wanderlust isn’t about running away from it all. It’s about experiencing the outside to discover what’s inside.

I don’t know where I’m going but I promise it won’t be boring.

You can be in love with one thousand views and skylines and souls and minds at once. Don’t apologise for your burn, your passion, your enthusiasm. Enthusiasm propels the world.

Travel. As much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place.

Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times.

Sometimes the place that you’re used to is not the place you belong.

Travelling is to the mind, what love is to the heart and what education is to life. Truly enriching.

Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.

I travel because I’d rather look back at my life saying ‘I can’t believe I did that’ instead of ‘If only I had done that’.

You will never understand the true meaning of your life, until you travel and experience how others are living theirs.

Your comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there.

I’d rather have a passport full of stamps than a house full of stuff.

And at the end of the day your feet should be dirty, your hair should be messy and your eyes sparkling.

Travelling is not something you’re good at, it’s something you do, like breathing.

The best way to predict your future is to create it. Not from the known but the unknown.

You were born to do more than just go to work, pay bills and die. Go and see the world.

Travel Adventure Quotes

Travel is nothing short of an adventure, whether you’re road-tripping, backpacking or travelling for the first time. These road trip quotes and life adventure quotes will get you so excited about your upcoming trip and adventure quotes for Instagram captions like this also really inspire other people to travel too!

Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in an office or mowing the lawn. Climb that goddam mountain.

We must take adventures in order to know where we truly belong.

I would gladly live out of a backpack if it meant I could see the world.

Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life.

Fill your life with adventures, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.

Age is irrelevant. Ask me how many sunsets I’ve seen, hearts I’ve loved, trips I’ve taken, concerts I’ve been to. That’s how old I am.

A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

Go, where no one has ever gone. Do, what others have never done. Live, like no one has ever lived.

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make it’s own people comfortable.

There is nothing like that feeling you get when you arrive at a place you’ve never been. It’s addictive. I think I could spend my whole life travelling towards that feeling.

The natural high from travelling to somewhere new has to be the most addictive substance on earth.

Because the greatest part of a road trip isn’t arriving at your destination. It’s all the wild stuff that happens along the way.

When you go on a road trip, the trip itself becomes part of the story.

If you don’t know where you’re going, any road can take you there.

Money Travel Quotes

If you’re currently saving money for travel, these travel quotes about money are great to put in your Instagram captions to help motivate you and others around you.

Travel while you’re young and able. Don’t worry about the money, just make it work. Experience is far more valuable than money will ever be.

Travel. It’s the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul.

If travelling was free, you’d never see me again.

Travel. Because money returns. Time does not.

I would rather own a little and see the world than own the world and see little of it.

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy plane tickets, which is kind of the same thing.

Travel is an investment in yourself.

Travel is never a matter of money but of courage.

Travel with Friends Quotes

Travel buddy quotes and best friend travel quotes are the best quotes to add into your caption for travelling with friends to get you all motivated to travel, or to reminisce on past travels that you’ve experienced together!

A good friend listens to your adventures. A best friend makes them with you.

It’s not about where you are, it’s about who you’re with. And then sometimes you’re blessed with the beauty of both.

A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles.

Friends that travel together, stay together.

Life was meant for great friends and great adventures.

You can pack for every occasion but a good friend will always be the best thing you could bring!

Everyone needs a friend who will call and say, ‘get dressed, we’re going on an adventure’!

It doesn’t matter where you’re going, it’s who you have beside you.

There are no strangers here, only friends you haven’t met yet.

Travel Girl Quotes

Female travel is empowering and although many girls travel we still need to encourage it more with these quotes for women travellers. I also find that these are some of the happy travel quotes and inspiring travel the world quotes!

Not all girls are made of sugar and spice. Some girls are made of adventure, brains, beer and no fear.

Be the girl who decided to go for it.

Never did the world make a queen out of a girl who hides in houses and dreams without travelling.

All she ever wanted was a lifetime of adventures.

Maybe some girls aren’t made to be tamed. Maybe they are meant to run wild until they find someone just as wild to run with.

Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.

Girls don’t wait for their prince anymore, they just pack and travel the world.

Love her but leave her wild.

Travel Love Quotes

These quotes about travel and love are perfect for Instagram photos of you and your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, or to declare just how much you love to travel!

Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures.

In life, it’s not where you go but who you go with.

As soon as I saw you, I knew you would be an adventure of a lifetime.

I want to see the world twice, once on my own and once with you.

Let’s travel together and get lost in beautiful places.

Date someone who is a home and an adventure all at once.

Oh darling, let’s be adventurers.

Coming Home Travel Quotes

Finally, we all feel emotional when our travels end (for now) and we have to go home so these are the perfect travel quotes for Instagram when you are sat at the airport or have just got back into your bed at home!

It’s a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realise what’s changed is you.

You will never be completely at home again because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That’s the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.

Travelling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go, this is my station’.

Once you have travelled, the voyage never ends. The mind can never break off from the journey.

Once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards. For there you have been and there you will long to return.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in life. Not to change it, just to feel a couple of things twice.

No one realises how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

I hope you have found these explore the world quotes helpful and you continue to share them in your Instagram captions!

You got your Magic Bands in the mail months ago, put your mouse ears on as the sun came up, and now you'll step foot into the most magical place on Earth with your kids for an obligatory picture. Which means you'll also need some cute Instagram captions for your kids' first Disney trip when it's time to post that signature shot of your kid's reaction to seeing Cinderella's Castle for the first time.

Whether it's Disneyland or Disney World, visiting a Disney park for the very first time is an experience that kids and parents will remember for a lifetime. I visited Disney World for the first time as a 6-year-old and while I don't remember a ton of specifics about the trip, I do remember the exhilarating feeling of entering the gates to the Magic Kingdom on our first day at the park. My mom can tell you every little detail about the experience — including the exact dollar amount spent on air faire, tickets, and park swag — but she also says that it's some of the best money she and my dad ever spent.

When you shell out this much cash for a family vacay, you'll definitely be documenting it, so use one of these cute Instagram captions for your kids' first Disney trip to let all of your friends know just how much Mickey-themed fun you're having.

"And at last I see the light." — 'Tangled'

If your kiddo loves Tangled, this is the perfect Instagram caption for their first Disney trip. Imagine posting a picture of their face all lit up as they waltz through the gates with a gaping mouth and bright eyes to make your heart melt.

"You're my greatest adventure." — 'Up'

This quote from Up is swoon-worthy all on its own, but paired with a photo of your little ones at Disney for the very first time, it will convey the sense of pride you feel for being able to make your child's mouse-loving dreams come true.

"Let me share this whole new world with you." — 'Aladdin'

I haven't taken my own kids to a Disney park ( yet ) but I know that when I do, I'll get to finally share with them a little piece all of the precious memories that I made with my own parents and grandparents as a kid at Disney. It will be a "whole new world" to them, so this Disney caption will work perfectly with the picture I will inevitably post on Instagram.

"I look at you, and I'm home." — 'Finding Nemo'

This Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip works well for multiple reasons — your kids are basically the home for all of the love and happiness in your own heart, and they're likely feeling that same sense of home when they see the most magical place on Earth for the very first time.

"To all who come to this happy place, welcome." — Walt Disney

You can almost feel Walt Disney's welcoming arms wrapping you in a warm hug the moment you enter any Disney park. When you snap a photo of your kids feeling that warm welcome for the first time, you can use this quote as your Instagram caption.

"A dream is a wish your heart makes." — 'Cinderella'

I would venture to say that many Disney-loving parents dream day and night about the first time their child will lay eyes on a Disney park from the minute they're born until they step foot inside the gates for the first time. If that's you, this Instagram caption is perfect for your kid's first Disney trip.

"Every adventure requires a first step." — 'Alice In Wonderland'

The first step in this particular case is the one your child is taking into a Disney park for the very first time. No matter their age, they're about to embark on an unforgettable adventure and you're about to post about it on Instagram with this Alice In Wonderland quote to mark the occasion.

"Happiness is the richest thing we will ever own." — 'Duck Tales'

You may pay a pretty penny just to get in the front gate, but once your kid steps foot inside of a Disney park for the first time, the happiness and joy that lights up their face will be worth every single cent. Use this Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip to let the world know how much you value making your child happy.

"Even miracles take a little time." — 'Cinderella'

This is the perfect Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip if you've been waiting a while to take the plunge. Even if you didn't have to wait all that long to make the trip, you likely stood in line at the gate to be one of the first families through the door or had to wait hours to get on Space Mountain, so this Instagram caption still applies.

"All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust." — 'Peter Pan'

You can also add "...and a FastPass" to the end of this Peter Pan quote to your Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip if you want to be tongue-in-cheek about what it really takes to make a Disney trip successful.

"Happiness is a state of mind. It’s just according to the way you look at things." — Walt Disney

This quote from the founding father of the Disney parks himself perfectly sums up the way your kids likely feel about their first trip to a Disney park. Where you might just see a ridiculously large price tag, long lines, and crowds, they see the happiest they've ever been in their entire life.

"Chewie, we're home." — 'Star Wars'

I'm a life long Star Wars fan, so this quote definitely tops my personal list of Instagram captions for my kid's first Disney trip simply because Han Solo said it. Maybe your kid's nickname is Chewie, or maybe you just love Star Wars as much as I do — either way, this is a great option for a photo at Galaxy's Edge.

"True love is putting someone else’s needs before yours." — 'Frozen'

Olaf says it best — your kids need this Disney trip. When you take them to experience the magic of a Disney park for the very first time, use this caption on Instagram to memorialize the experience and just how much you love watching your kids soak up every moment.

"And they lived happily ever after."

This is a great caption to close out posts from your trip with a photo of your kiddo waving goodbye after their first spin around a Disney park.

"The most fantastic, magical things can happen, and it all starts with a wish." —'Pinocchio'

Your kid has wished, hoped, prayed, and dreamed for a Disney trip for as long as you can remember, so capture the magic of their wish coming true with this Pinocchio quote as your Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip.

"We're here and ready to make ALL the magic."

Even if you're just spending a single day at a Disney park on your kid's first trip, you're going to pack as much magic into that one day as you possibly can, and this Instagram caption perfectly sums up that sentiment.

"Forget about your worries and your strife." — 'The Jungle Book'

You can practically hear the song playing in your head when you read that, right? Use this quote as an Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip with a photo showing just how carefree they look as they explore the park for the first time.

"I have often dreamed of a far off place where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me." —'Hercules"

Arguably one of the most underrated Disney movie songs of all time is "Go the Distance" from Hercules. This quote from the song is great for capturing the months (even years ) of waiting to take your kids to Disney for the first time.

"Everything tastes better shaped like Mickey Mouse."

This is the perfect Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip when you catch a photo of them smiling down at a Mickey Mouse waffle for the first time or taking a huge, messy bite of a melting Mickey-shaped ice cream bar.

"Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?" — 'The Little Mermaid'

The amount of things to see and do at a Disney park can be overwhelming, especially for a first timer. If you happen to capture a photo of your kid's mesmerized expression as they stare wide-eyed at all there is to see inside of the park for the first time, this caption from "Part of Your World" is the perfect companion to your Instagram post.

"Life is better at Disney."

This simple and sweet Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip would work well for pretty much any photo you take of them on the trip.

"Everything the light touches is our kingdom." — 'The Lion King'

Adding "...our Magic Kingdom, that is" to the end of this quote from The Lion King gives it the perfect twist to make it work as an Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip.

"To infinity, and beyond!" — 'Toy Story'

Buzz Lightyear's iconic line from Toy Story alludes to the great adventure that your kids have when they visit a Disney park for the first time. Use this quote as an Instagram caption with a photo of your kid lighting up as they run toward Toy Story Land for the very first time.

"The sky's awake, so I'm awake." — 'Frozen'

Every single parent on a Disney trip can relate to this one. Whether you're up early to try and get your money's worth out of the experience, or your kids rise with the sun to get a jump start on their magical day — when the sky is awake at Disney, so are you.

"First, think. Second, believe. Third, dream. And finally, dare." — Walt Disney

This quote from Walt Disney outlines the journey every parent takes to plan a Disney trip for their kid. Use it as an Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip when you want to let everyone know just how much work went into making this trip happen.

"Life's not a spectator sport." — 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'

This quote is especially true when you're at Disney and your kids are asking to do every single thing they can possibly squeeze into one day. Use this as an Instagram caption for your kid's first Disney trip to put into words all of the crazy adventures you get to experience while you're there.

"It's a world full of laughter, a world full of tears." — 'It's A Small World'

Your kid will likely have at least one meltdown on their first Disney trip. It just happens. If you happen to snap a photo of it and are willing to post it on Instagram (which you should because that's real life , people), this is the perfect caption to go along with it.

"Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." — 'Lilo & Stitch'

If your kid's first trip to Disney is a family affair — or you have multiple kids visiting for the first time together — this quote from Lilo & Stitch is ideal to use as an Instagram caption.

"Fairy tales can come true. You gotta make them happen, it all depends on you." — 'The Princess & The Frog'

Your kids can't very well put themselves on an airplane or drive a car and get themselves to a Disney park all on their own, so it really does depend on you to make their dreams of visiting Disney come true.

"This is it, we live here now."

Your kids would love it if you moved to a Disney park, wouldn't they? And honestly, you probably would too.

“The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.” — Wallace Stevens

I am forever obsessed with this beautiful travel quote–the longer and farther we travel, the more I appreciate just how smitten I am with this incredible world of ours.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.” — St. Augustine

While this is one of the most famous travel quotes out there, it’s as controversial as it is inspiring: not everyone has the opportunity to travel, after all, and I certainly don’t believe that you  have  to travel to be a well-rounded person.

… That being said, for those of us lucky enough to have the opportunity, I do believe travel can enrich us and our knowledge of the world immeasurably.

“Tell me, what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — Mary Oliver

“This… this was excitement, romance, adventure–and there was so much more of it,  too  much more of it for even another month, another year, another  decade  to adequately contain my investigations.” — Anthony Bourdain

This quote from Anthony Bourdain’s first memoir (the fantastic Kitchen Confidential , which helped propel him to stardom), has always stuck with me: this  is exactly how I feel arriving in a new destination and becoming intoxicated by just how much I love it.

Bourdain is talking about his first trip to Tokyo here, but the sentiment could belong to any number of overwhelming, delightful, fantastic cities around the globe

For me, it brings to mind Rome , Mexico City , Istanbul , Bangkok , and so many more.

“Traveling–it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” — Ibn Battuta

“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” — Dalai Lama

“Climb the mountain so that you can see the world, not so that the world can see you.” — David McCullough

“The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands.” — Sir Richard Burton

“Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.” — Anthony Bourdain

Some of the best short travel quotes in the world are not about any single destination or accomplishment in particular, but about appreciating all of the unexpected (if often uncomfortable) adventures that happen along the way.

“The journey itself is my home.” — Matsuo Basho

“Our happiest moments as tourists always seem to come when we stumble upon one thing while in pursuit of something else.” — Lawrence Block

I love this quote–and have found it to be true over and over again while traveling.

Major travel accomplishments are fantastic, but often the best and most memorable travel adventures cannot be planned.

“It’s better to travel well than to arrive.” — Buddha

“A journey is like a marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” — John Steinbeck

“Not all those who wander are lost.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

“Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.” — Anatole France

“There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it.” — Charles Dudley Warner

“The only people who ever get anyplace interesting are the people who get lost.” — Henry David Thoreau

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” — Henry Miller

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” — Bill Bryson

“It is not down in any map; true places never are.” — Herman Melville

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” — Lao Tzu

“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” — Robert Louis Stevenson

“Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.” — Paul Theroux

Oh, how true this is!

The reality of travel–especially long-term travel like what we have been experiencing for nearly 5 years as of the time that I’m updating this travel quotes blog post–is often stressful and physically uncomfortable, but so far, it has always been worth it.

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” — Ernest Hemingway

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.” — Martin Buber

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” — Confucius

“Adventure is worthwhile.” — Aesop

Short, sweet, and to the point: Aesop’s words are still worth living by.

“I have no reason to go, except that I have never been, and knowledge is better than ignorance. What better reason could there be for traveling?” — Freya Stark

While our personal travel bucket list is longer than ever, we find ourselves living by this short travel quote near-constantly on the road: when the opportunity presents itself to explore another neighborhood, city, or country that we know little to nothing about, our question is no longer “why should we visit?” but “why not?”.

“Remember that happiness is a way of travel–not a destination.” — Roy M. Goodman

“The journey not the arrival matters.” — T.S. Eliot

Travel long enough, and it becomes clear that changing along the way is simply part of the deal.

Here’s how travel changes you–as told in short travel quotes from a wide variety of travelers.

“Travel opens your mind as few other things do. It is its own form of hypnotism, and I am forever under its spell.” — Libba Bray

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but having new eyes.” — Marcel Proust

“So much of who we are is where we have been.” — William Langewiesche

I love this quote about traveling and have been tempted to use it plenty of travel captions before: each destination has a way of weaving itself into us and becoming part of who we are.

“You go away from a long time and return a different person–you never come all the way back.” — Paul Theroux

As someone who left on what was supposed to be a RTW trip with a clear end date, never came back, and half a decade later has a new career, focus in life, and wealth of experiences to show for it, I can certainly attest to this: we have never and will never come all the way back to who we started before traveling long-term.

We have been so changed by our experiences that the life we originally planned for ourselves feels inconceivable now, and we place the responsibility for most of that on leaping into the unknown.

“Loving life is easy when you are abroad. Where no one knows you and you hold your life in your hands all alone, you are more master of yourself than at any other time.” — Hannah Arendt

“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life–and travel–leaves marks on you.” — Anthony Bourdain

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.” — Anita Desai

“I travel because it makes me realize how much I haven’t seen, how much I’m not going to see, and how much I still need to see.” — Carew Papritz

“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” — Seneca

“You do not travel if you are afraid of the unknown, you travel for the unknown, that reveals you with yourself.” — Ella Maillart

“Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life, that I will always be haunted by thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere.” — Isabelle Eberhardt

“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.” — Anthony Bourdain

“Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember and I remember more than I have seen.” — Benjamin Disraeli

“I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.” — Bill Bryson

This pick from Bill Bryson might be just slightly too long for this post specifically on short travel quotes, but I love it too much to leave it off: nothing brings back childlike wonder quite like being dropped in a country dramatically different from your own!

“A great way to learn about your country is to leave it.” — Henry Rollins

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I–I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” — Robert Frost

“The true fruit of travel is perhaps the feeling of being nearly everywhere at home.” — Freya Stark

“Travel has a way of stretching the mind.” — Ralph Crawshaw

“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” — Mary Ritter Beard

“Traveling’s not something you’re good at. It’s something you do. Like breathing.” — Gayle Foreman

“Travel far enough, you meet yourself.” — David Mitchell

“Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all of one’s lifetime.” — Mark Twain

“When you travel, you’re forced to have new thoughts. “Is this alley safe?” “Is this the right bus?” “Was this meat ever a house pet?” It doesn’t even matter what the new thoughts are, it feels so good to just have some variety. And it’s a reboot for your brain. I can feel the neurons making new connections again with new problems to solve, clawing their way back to their nimbler, younger days.” — Kristin Newman

“I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” — Mary Anne Radmacher

There’s no doubt that one of the best things about travel is getting to connect with people all over the world–here are some of the best travel quotes on the subject, starting with one of my ultimate favorites…

“Travel is about great and illogical leaps of trust.” — Dave Eggers

I pulled this from a short story called The Road to Riyadh that Eggers wrote for Lonely Planet as part of a phenomenal compilation of true travel stories , and have had it seared into my memory from the moment I read it–it perfectly captures the emotion behind stepping outside your comfort zone when traveling. 

“If you’re 22, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel–as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them, wherever you go.” — Anthony Bourdain

“Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.” — Wendell Berry

“The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” — Shirley MacLaine

“To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” — Aldous Huxley

“When overseas you learn more about your own country than you do the place you’re visiting.” — Clint Borgen

“I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” — Mark Twain

“If I am an advocate for anything, it is to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food. It’s a plus for everybody.” — Anthony Bourdain

“Traveling tends to magnify all human emotions.” — Peter Hoeg

Anyone who has ever fought with their travel companion over something seemingly inane while way too jetlagged knows this short travel quote to be true!

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.” — Anais Nin

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” — Maya Angelou

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrowmindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” — Mark Twain

As much as I love this famous travel quote by Twain, I’ve always felt that it’s best appreciated when read with the following one by Michener:

“If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and ignore the people, you might better just stay home.” — James A. Michener

These two short travel quotes may have two entirely different takes on how travel can (or cannot) change you, but read together, to me they always add up to the idea that you get out of travel what you put into it–and I have always found that to be true in our own adventures around the world.

At its core, the pursuit of travel tends to be about the joy of living an adventurous life.

Here are some of the best travel quotes on pursuing a life of adventure!

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” — Helen Keller

“When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.” — Susan Heller

Nearly 5 years of living a life of travel later, we can confirm this is definitely true for us! So much overpacking in those early months…

“Once in a while it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.” — Alan Keightley

“Own only what you can always carry with you: known languages, known countries, known people. Let your memory be your travel bag” — Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

“I would rather own little and see the world than own the world and see little of it.” — Alexander Sattler

“Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of every day, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear.” — Freya Stark

“Live with no excuses and travel with no regrets.” — Oscar Wilde

“Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.” — Ray Bradbury

“To travel is to live.” — Hans Christian Anderson

“You only live once. But if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West

“The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.” — Oprah Winfrey

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” — T.S. Eliot

“We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.” — Ray Bradbury

“My favorite thing is to go where I have never been.” — Diane Arbus

“If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine. It’s lethal.” — Paul Coelho

“I was surprised, as always, by how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.” — Jack Kerouac

“Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.” — Douglas Ivester

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” — Neale Donald Walsch

“The life you have led doesn’t need to be the only life you have.” — Anna Quindlen

“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” — Susan Sontag

“He who would travel happily must travel light.” — Antoine de St. Exupery

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” — Jawaharial Nehru

“Take only memories, leave only footprints.” — Chief Seattle

“Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively, unless you can choose a challenge instead of a competence.” — Eleanor Roosevelt

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” — Andre Gide

“Adventure should be part of everyone’s life. It is the whole difference between being fully alive and just existing.” — Holly Morris

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

“Surely, of all the wonders of the world, the horizon is the greatest.” — Freya Stark

Freya Stark provided the world with many amazing travel quotes, but this is definitely one of my favorites from her! There’s definitely something invigorating about a beautiful horizon in the distance.

“Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.” — Lisa St. Aubin De Teran

“Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.” — Mae Jemison

“I’m in love with cities I’ve never been to and people I’ve never met.” — John Green

“The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life.” — Agnes Repplier

“Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.”  — Jack Kerouac

… And, of course, what better way to close out a list of the best short travel quotes than this classic by Kerouac?

Here’s to continually living adventurously and climbing all the mountains, literally and figuratively.

Prince Harry and Meghan visit Nigeria, where the duchess hints at her heritage with students: "I see myself in all of you"

By Charlie D'Agata

Updated on: May 10, 2024 / 10:40 AM EDT / CBS News

Their first trip to Nigeria together might have been called a mini royal tour, but for the fact that Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, haven't been "working royals" for a few years.

The couple — now California residents — received a warm welcome to the massive African nation on Friday. They were gifted traditional Nigerian necklaces of wooden beads and then treated to a dance routine by students at their first stop, the Lightway Academy in the sprawling capital city of Abuja.

There, Harry addressed one of his biggest causes: mental health.

"If you take anything away from today, just know that mental health affects every single person," he told the students. "The more you talk about it, the more you can kick stigma away."

Their visit to the West African country takes on added meaning for Meghan, who not long ago said on her Archetypes podcast that a genealogy test had revealed she's "43% Nigerian." The couple have both referenced her Nigerian descent since that revelation, and Meghan voiced her hope to "dig deeper" into her roots.

"My daughter Lili looked at me and said she could see her reflection in my eyes, and said, 'Mama, I see me in you and you in me,'" she told the students in Abuja on Friday.

"As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well," she added, drawing a round of applause from the crowd.

Harry and Meghan are in Nigeria at the invitation of the country's military, visiting to discuss the future work of the prince's Invictus Games Foundation. The charity helps wounded servicemembers and veterans through sport. Nigeria has a similar program and collaborates with Invictus.

The visit to Africa comes just days after Prince Harry was in London — on his own — to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. The stop in his old hometown prompted a flurry of speculation about a possible reconciliation with the rest of his royal family in Britain.

But it wasn't to be . He neither met with his brother, Prince William , nor his father, King Charles III.

At one point, the father and son were a mere two miles from each other, attending separate events. According to a statement from the Duke of Sussex, a meeting was unfortunately not possible due to "his Majesty's full program" on the day. It added that Harry hoped to see his father again soon.

King Charles is currently undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, but he has resumed some of his public duties , saying this week that he'd, "been allowed out of his cage."

Harry and Meghan were to wrap up their Nigerian tour on Sunday, following a cultural reception and charity polo match for wounded war veterans.

Pacers eliminate Knicks, advance to Eastern Conference finals after historic shooting performance

Tyrese Haliburton scored 26 points and the Indiana Pacers rode one of the most sensational first halves in Game 7 history to a 130-109 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday, advancing to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 10 years.

The Pacers made 29 of their 38 shots in the first half, a shooting percentage of 76.3% that was the highest in the postseason since 1997, when the NBA began keeping detailed play-by-play for all four quarters. They led 70-55 at that point and pulled away every time the Knicks tried to make a run in the second half.

The No. 6-seeded Pacers set an NBA playoff record by finishing at 67.1% for the game and advanced to face top-seeded Boston in a series that begins Tuesday. Indiana last reached the conference finals in 2014, losing to Miami.

Jalen Brunson left in the second half with a broken left hand, one final injury for a Knicks team that was decimated by them.

They got OG Anunoby back Sunday after he missed the previous four games with a strained left hamstring, but he clearly wasn’t moving well and was taken out of the game after just five minutes.

Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard each scored 20 points and Aaron Nesmith was 8 for 8 en route to his 19 for the Pacers.

Donte DiVincenzo made nine 3-pointers and scored 39 points for the Knicks, who were trying to reach the conference finals for the first time since 2000 but couldn’t overcome the losses of Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson and Bojan Bogdanovic, before losing Anunoby and finally Brunson.

Brunson finished with 17 points and nine assists, shooting 6 for 17 after scoring 40 or more points five times in this postseason. Alec Burks came off the bench for 26 points.

The third Game 7 between the franchises — the Knicks won in the 1994 Eastern Conference finals and the Pacers pulled out a 97-95 victory the next year in the East semifinals — was a chance for the Pacers to show off the offense that led the NBA with 123.3 points per game.

They scored 39 points in the first quarter, the most in a Game 7 in the play-by-play era, looking every bit like the team that set an NBA record this season by reaching 140 11 times.

The Pacers made 10 of their first 11 shots — it would have been 11 of 12, but Myles Turner’s dunk attempt bounced back out of the basket — and didn’t slow down much the rest of the half. Knicks fans who were screaming and chanting before the game were groaning during it as the Pacers made shot after shot, no matter how well the Knicks had defended them.

The Pacers led 39-27 after shooting 16 for 21 from the field (76.2%) and 7 for 9 from 3-point range (77.8%) in the first quarter. Indiana then went 13 for 17 (76.5%) in the second quarter, with the lead growing to 22 points.

The Knicks cut it to 70-55 at halftime, then scored the first seven out of the break as part of a 12-3 start to the second half that trimmed it to 73-67. But with the Pacers leading by seven, the Knicks committed three straight turnovers that helped Indiana push the lead to 84-70.

Josh Hart played through an abdominal strain for the Knicks, fouling out with 10 points and eight rebounds.

At Detroit NAACP dinner, Biden says he needs Black voters, chides Trump

DETROIT - Speaking to a sold-out crowd Sunday night, President Joe Biden addressed thousands attending the marquee dinner event for the largest branch of the nation's oldest civil rights organization, outlining the steps his administration has taken to help Detroit and crediting Black voters for his election in 2020.

And he took special care to criticize former President Donald Trump, who he's expected to face in a rematch this fall.

"The nation... needs all of you," Biden said. "Because of your vote, it's the only reason I'm standing here as president of the United States... You're the reason Donald Trump is the defeated former president and you're the reason Donald Trump is going to be a loser again."

Biden delivered the keynote address at the Detroit Branch NAACP's annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner held at Huntington Place in Detroit and received a lifetime achievement award from the group.

Directly addressing concerns that some have raised about Biden's age — he's 81 — he opened the 19-minute speech speech saying, "I don't feel tired, I feel inspired." He then launched into his administration's efforts to improve health care for Black people, close the racial wealth gap, remove lead water pipes and appoint Black judges to the federal bench.

Prep for the polls: See who is running for president and compare where they stand on key issues in our Voter Guide

He also said he would, if reelected, press for additional civil rights action, including legislation to improve voting rights enforcement.

In concluding his speech, Biden said that the U.S. hasn't achieved its founding ideal of equality but that isn't a reason to stop trying. “We’ve never fully lived up to it, but we’ve never fully walked away from it either," he said. "But Trump will.”

In a speech that began at 8 p.m. Biden also called Trump "screwy" saying he wants to roll back safety regulations, cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations and cut health care. He also called Trump "unhinged," saying Trump wants to pardon supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol as Congress met to certify Biden's win on Jan. 6, 2021, and asking the crowd what it thought Trump would have done if Black voters had done so.

"Trump isn't running to lead America. He's running for revenge," Biden said.

While Biden has made preserving democracy a key theme of his campaign, Trump has repeatedly criticized Biden’s handling of the economy. But Gov. Gretchen Whitmer – co-chair of Biden’s reelection campaign – tried to undermine Trump’s attack. “Our economy, people’s paychecks are growing,” Whitmer said before Biden took the stage.

Biden went on to specify the ways his policies have specifically improved Black Americans’ economic well-being. Among the policies Biden championed, he touted efforts to close the racial wealth gap, saying it reached a historic low under his watch. By one measure that’s true. But looking at the dollar amounts separating Black and white Americans’ wealth, the gap has grown, according to a review by a the fact-checking news organization PolitiFact.

The annual event "is the largest sit down dinner of its kind in the world," according to the branch's website, and attracted a who's who of Michigan's Black leaders, as well as Whitmer, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and Michigan's two Democratic U.S. senators.

It comes at a time when the Democratic president is trying to shore up support among Black voters and beat back a narrative that his campaign is struggling in swing states, including Michigan. As he took the stage, the crowd chanted "Four more years!"

The last time a Democratic presidential candidate spoke at the event was in 2016 when Hillary Clinton addressed diners before she clinched her party's nomination that year. Pundits blamed her narrow loss to Trump in Michigan partly on low voter turnout in Detroit.

On Sunday, diners once again made their way to their seats in a vast convention hall, some wearing evening gowns and tuxedos. Outside, they walked past pro-Palestinian demonstrators protesting Biden's Gaza policies. But once inside, they saw a reminder of other parts of Biden's first-term legacy. A life-size cardboard cut-out of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson greeted them with the caption "Black women are supreme." In choosing Jackson, Biden became the first president to nominate a Black woman to the court.

Biden's trip to Detroit marked his first visit to the city this election year to campaign. Earlier in the day, Biden delivered a commencement address at the Morehouse College, a historically Black liberal arts college for men in Atlanta. While Biden has repeatedly described the upcoming presidential election as a battle to preserve American democracy, he seemed to acknowledge his campaign message might not resonate with the Black male audience he addressed.

"It's natural to wonder if the democracy you hear about actually works for you," Biden told the graduates. "What is democracy if Black men are being killed in the street? What is democracy if a trail of broken promises still leave Black communities behind? What is democracy if you have to be ten times better than anyone else to get a fair shot?"

Biden's appearance in Detroit comes after Vice President Kamala Harris stooped in the city earlier this month to tout the administration's efforts to close racial economic disparities. The Rev. Wendell Anthony — president of the Detroit Branch NAACP — described the dinner event as another effective way to engage and motivate voters.

Anthony indicated the stakes of the upcoming election couldn't be higher during a press conference preceding the dinner. "Our very freedom is on the line," he said. Asked about national polling showing Biden losing ground among Black voters – particularly Black men – Anthony said he expects as November approaches, support for reelecting the president will grow. "You know, it's like the Lord always comes. He don't come when you want him, but he comes always on time," he said.

While the NAACP dinner event drew many Biden supporters, not everyone was certain what they'll do this fall. La Shumbra Singleton, 49, of Pontiac, who attended the dinner said she hasn’t decided whether she will vote for Biden. “It’s same old, same old,” she said of this year’s election cycle. Asked if she’s frustrated to face another Biden-Trump rematch, she said, “Oh my goodness, yes.” But she said seeing Biden “figure out a better way to handle the foreign policy issues with Palestine and Hamas” would help Biden win her vote. She said she wants to see a permanent cease-fire in Gaza. She also wants to see Biden talk more about student loan debt.  

Meanwhile, Harold Hill, 66, of Southfield — who works in pharmaceutical sales — said he plans to vote for Biden. He said the president’s appearance at the dinner was a sign that he’s not taking Detroit – nor the battleground state of Michigan – for granted. But Biden faces a challenge of turning out Black voters to secure his reelection, Hill said. “They’re not motivated like they were for President Obama. They’re not, because he’s boring,” Hill said of Biden. “Black people don’t like boring. I hate to say it, but they don’t.”

As Biden faces an almost-certain rematch against Trump this fall, his campaign has made outreach to Black voters in Detroit and across Michigan — a key swing state — a focus of his reelection campaign. Black turnout in Detroit — one of the nation's largest majority-Black cities — and other areas where Black voters are concentrated could sway the election this fall.

In 2016, Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to win Michigan since 1988. But Biden defeated Trump in the state in 2020. Polls have shown Biden trailing behind Trump in Michigan in a head-to-head matchup.
