Travel Challenge Anyone???

I've been posting here for more than three years now maybe longer. This was my Shangrila and am sure the same to most. That changed when I met my husband, I found a Shangrila a real one in his heart and mind...and intend to keep it that way. I've made Mackay my home...and for reasons beyond my control at this point I am anchored, pretty much grounded...Under-wrap so to speak while work is in progress. I have spent a lot of time in hangars in the past and I have likened my current state to a wingless Airbus or a Boeing 747 grounded for maintenance;-)

I was born, brought up and moulded with an itchy feet and an insatiable yearning for adventure. I am a sucker of all things open spaces, green and brown and in between... spectacles of this wonderful thing called Nature!

With technology and internet at hand We can whisk each other across the globe. If we can fall in love without touching each other or not knowing if we've fallen for a scammer...no reason why we can't travel. How good would it be to travel without lifting our butts or needing passports to cross international borders and most of all without spending bucks...

Unsure of how each of you will react but this friend of yours is eager to find out if you'd care to join me travel around by sharing your favourite place in mind. Your Numero Uno place to go to. The one place that leaves in your heart. Or where you long to go all year round. If it takes your breath away, it'll take mine without a doubt! So take me, take us with you as you make your way!



NB: I've been thinking about this a long time. I knew if I just wait someone will put the challenge out. But so far none has come up with it and I am considering of maybe leaving PC indefinitely to focus on the home front and for my own sanity. I have started a blog for my poetry...I hope you'll come and visit me there one day when the page is ready.

I thought I should give this a go just in case there are others like me who has dreams of seeing places they know they might never see. Sometimes there are reasons we can't travel ... Time, finances, health, family and many more...and maybe just far too many in our bucket lists...so why not go there virtually, it's the next best thing I think.

Just to see how far we can go... Rather than just posting your individual poems, please return to this post once you have posted and leave us the link to your poem so people reading this can be linked to it...Thanks you for participating
