Again I completed it all
Even though the tasks were not small.

But it is a fact…
My bags are again packed.

My friends Dick and Lynne will knock
At seven o clock.

And drive me to LAX in the fast lane
To catch my plane

To be on time for the cruise ship boarding
Early in the morning.

No need to guess –
This time it is the “Crown Princess”

To sail for 49 days…
And experience the South America ways.

It took some skill
To get the visa for Brazil.

And I had to call back and forth
To arrange for extra pages in my passport.

The Argentina reciprocity they could only assign
If I paid in advance on line.

To be often on the go,
Takes time, effort,… and dough.

But I have to admit –
It is worth every bit.

So here I sit and wait,
at the “Jet Blue” gate.

Tomorrow I will sail
With my friend Margaret from Fort Lauderdale.
