My Dream Vacation

MY DREAM VACATION Sharing juicy oranges on a dusty Spanish pavement The cloudless sky offers no respite from the relentless sun Free of time concerns, we cycle to our next ad-lib adventure Guided by suggestions not structure Blown by the wind, we wing it to wherever We are not bound by the books They say: "life is just beyond your comfort zone" I would add "memories do not follow a timetables" The unknown awaits the unscheduled I will long remember the feel of the sticky juice on my hands but the memories of luxury dinners have faded But planless isn't always painless Carefully consider your companion A timid friend will be too traditionalistic to escape An incautious friend may be imprudent or frivolous A considered choice of companion opens off-road experiences Be brave, be adventurous Escape from conservative chains Liberated, fly free.
