Travel Plans

I know it's not a good idea to wish your life away and the time goes by so quickly, but I am so looking forward to next year.

Yesterday we had a meeting of our Travel Group. We are planning four trips and most of them look good. We are planning a short trip to Branson, MO, a cruise of the Italian lakes and Greek Isles, a cruise and land tour of Alaska and a cruise of the Yangtze River.

I'm not too big on a cruise in China, but I certainly would like to do the other trips. I've already done a cruise to Alaska, but I didn't go inland. I definitely want to see Denali. Maybe then I'll see some animals. The community is planning on going in June or July which is OK, but since I'm a cold person, I'd like to go in late August or September. I've just got to see the northern lights.

I definitely want to do the Italian lakes and Greek isles cruise too. Branson would be nice too.

I have a wonderful problem with all these trips. Even if I go on only three of them, when will I have time to any travelling on my own. How will I be able to visit any presidential libraries? I was thinking of a trip to Springfield, IL next year, then check out any other libraries in the area.

It's wonderful to be retired.

DEAR MOM,
I HAVE THE PERFECT SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS. THIS IS WHAT WE'LL DO. I WILL GO IN PLACE OF YOU ALL NEXT YEAR AND YOU CAN COME AND FILL IN MY SPOT HERE. SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLAN TO ME. THIS WAY YOU WON'T HAVE THE HASSLE OF MAKING THESE BIG DECISIONS. I KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING, "SURE--IN YOUR DREAMS." ALSO, WHAT'S UP WITH THESE ANIMALS? YOU'RE ALWAYS SO ANXIOUS TO SEE THEM!! PUT THEM OUT OF YOUR THOUGHTS ALTOGETHER AND JUST ENJOY THE SIGHTS.....LOL
