Can you name some short stories that have traveling as a major element?

Hello, I am teaching a first-year comp. class with literature, and I am using the theme of traveling as a way of self-discovery. The novels that I have chosen are A ROOM WITH A VIEW and THE ROAD (I got rid of TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY since students tended to not like it as much as I did). Anyway, I am trying to think of some short stories to round up, and the only one that is popping into my head right now is “Young Goodman Brown”. Oh, and “The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky”. Please suggest as many as you can so that I will have a varied lot to choose from. If the class were longer than a semester, I would have added good ol’ “Huck” to the mix.

Oh, and the short stories should have some literary merit, i.e., classics.
Thanks.
Oh, these are college students I am talking about.
