We drove a short distance…
And with Daphne’s and Carols assistance…

We embarked on the Pacific Princess across the Long Beach Bay,
In L.A.

For protection of the cruising crowd…
Bon Voyage parties on board are no longer allowed.

When we had no more time to talk…
We said goodbye with a hug and a kiss on the sidewalk.

We plan no time for malaise…
These upcoming 111 days.

“Its to long “ some say
But I know … I will enjoy every day

We know we belong to a happy few…
Because this…only a few can do.

It is difficult to comprehend…
How the next few months will be spend

The experiences will be marvelous…
The sights will be fabulous.

My travels globally…
I will share thru poetry

I will take it all in…
I am ready to begin.
