Why should I go on a pilgrimage?

Pilgrimage means making a journey to a sacred place in order to draw closer to God. To journey as a pilgrim is a different sort of journey than going as a tourist. To travel as a tourist is to be acquisitive--what can I acquire to bring home? Lots of photos and videos... a good suntan... stuff that I've bought....  To travel as a pilgrim is to be receptive--what does God want to give me and how can I be open and receptive to that?
