So, I got a new book the other day called 300 More Writing Prompts and of course I could NOT resist it. I actually love writing and hope to instill the same passion in at least one of my children. I may not be very good at writing, but I still love and feel it’s one of the most challenging ways to express yourself. You can’t show emotion except in words that you hope will convey to the reader your meaning and feelings, which leaves it up to them to decipher. So, todays prompt is............(I know the anticipation).......................
If you could book a flight tomorrow for anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Hmmmm! This is and always will be a tough one for me personally. I love to travel! When I was younger, I always wanted to see the world. I envisioned myself looking up to the top of the Eiffel Tower, visiting Stonehenge, seeing Victoria Falls in person, the Borealis Lights (Northern) while in Alaska, visiting the Amazon’s rainforest (before they are destroyed), The Great Wall of China, etc.....
Alas, those are and have been tourist attractions forever. I would like to see them, however, I really would like to see things off the beaten path. Places of long ago, like a path that King Arthur used or a place where Joan of Arc stood, a road that Jesus traveled or a road that a Roman built and is still there today. History is so important to our lives, for if those things had not happened, we surely wouldn’t be where we are today.
Although those places are nice, I’d also like to go to a nice, quiet place. A place of tranquility, at least it would be for me. Fiji would be wonderful. I can see myself in a hut that is literally in the water of the pacific. Of course I only know this place exist because of lucky others who have been there and have the photos to prove it. A hut on the side of a mountain in New Zealand overlooking a loch would be nice too. I get a lot of ribbing from my friends for wanting to be away from people, but the world is so sad these days that a place like this sounds like heaven on Earth to me.
Unfortunately, I married a man who has absolutely no desire to travel. Even when we ride our motorcycles, he’s done after about 30 minutes to an hour, whereas I could go all day long. Finances hold me back too, for if I had the green, I’d still go without him. I would hate to have to experience this world without him though, he can be his own worst enemy sometimes, like we all can be. Our world is in such a time that I feel it’s dangerous to do and go to the places I’d like to go to, especially by myself. I would like to experience the world with him, our children, family and friends that can an would want to go, but, the way things are today, I just don’t see it happening. I know I’m holding myself back, for I’m a true believer in when there is a will, there is a way. Not really sure why I hold myself back from doing these things, other than finances. If I really explored it in myself, I think I’d probably just buy a ticket to right where I am at this very moment. I love my family and all that encompasses. As much as I hate the work, I love that I have my family to do things for; cooking, doing their laundry, teaching my kids, arguing with my husband over stupid stuff, etc...... Besides, it’s a FREE ticket to my world of wonder. I can always pick up a book and travel to those places and let my imagination just picture it by the words of the author. How about you? Where would you go?
