On its own this is silly and meaningless...is it to travel......than to arrive......? Ie: to travel expectantly than to arrive disappointed?

It is "It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive."
It just means the anticipation of the journey is often a better feeling than you get when you arrive (which may be disappointing).

It's not the destination but the journey either to the milestone wedding anniversary or growing old disgracefully together either way the journey through life together is the fun bit.

It means that the destination is often an anti-climax. So, you are actually correct in your analysis of the proverb.

"It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive".
I love that saying by Robert Louis Stephenson.

It's not the destination, but the journey, that counts.
