end of season airfares

It must be a sign.  Travelocity keeps sending me summer airfare sales ads - selected cities only 103+.  Now who, with two months vacation time saved up, could turn that down?

Not I!  And so I have decided to pack my red necklace and fly the scary skies to Ohio to visit with a friend in Ohio.

It just occurred to me that it has been 30 years since I have flown anywhere.  It was a big adventure, then, with Aunt Doris for a chaperone and western New York to explore, and it was worth saying No to that Camaro my dad tried to bribe me with if I didn't go - although, I do wonder what it would have been like to drive a red one.

There is much to be said for traveling and new fodder for writing, new sights, new voices.  .

Sometimes - especially lately - I feel like my life has just begun.

Wonderful adventures await you dear heart! I think we reach a certain point in our lives we ask, have I lived all that I may......or is there more yet that I haven't experienced. There is a whole new world that we never stop learning from. (Hugs) Indigo
