Off on a travel adventure soon
so excited feel over the moon
plane departs from city at noon
Packing the essentials a real boon
toothbrush, passport and my own spoon
then off to contemplate in a quiet room
PS If you would like me to give more travel advice please just ask, I visited over 30 countries in my early twenties decades ago, plus lived and worked overseas …
daily prompt: Toothbrush
Wow.. I liked that simple poem.

Nevertheless, I can relate to the excitement of another travel adventure and the feeling of being over the moon 🙂

Only enough to fit into an oversized backpack.

Surely not oversized, just the amount you can easily carry!

lol your need to control is completely opposite to the way I operate Ann .. I didn’t know what to comment when everyone was so sympathetic and supportive … I was forced to go with the flow in my childhood, so guess I had great lessons then and now I see no reason to change now, good luck with yours 🙂

Oh, never be afraid to voice your opinion, even if you are in the minority! We are all different, and that’s perfectly fine. I came from a chaotic childhood, so I take comfort in order and control. But that doesn’t mean it’s what is right for everyone, it’s just how I deal with things.

I was pretty sure that it came about as a reaction to something … but I did feel deeply saddened that so many have that need coz you must miss out on so much that life has to offer 🙂

HA and YAY! Have fun! 🙂
I bet you are happier than a loon
on a beautiful day in June!
Will you see a raccoon
or take a ride in a hot air balloon?
Will you encounter a prune
or a monsoon or a baboon?
Just watch out for a buffoon!
Ha, I’ll stop now…but your poem got me all -oon-y! 😀
I always take my own pillow, but never a spoon.
HUGS!!! 🙂

glad the fun was so infectious .. lol am going over to monsoon and may see a few baboons so you got close … the spoon was purely for the rhythm 🙂

We have monsoons during the Summer, so we are in the midst of them. I enjoy the rain! 🙂

Ditch the spoon Kate, you have over packed (and maybe even the toothbrush, but that would ruin the prompt). Enjoy the travels 🙂

lol sounds like we travel similarly … only took that spoon for the rhythm anyway … check out a movie called ‘the Dressmaker’ very Australian but all about small town ‘stuff’, will do a revue if I find time but I get the feeling you would really appreciate it Davy 🙂
