Give Me A Ticket for an Airplane!!!
« on: January 02, 2016, 12:46:00 pm »
Oh, my gosh, do I need a vacation.  No, not a "stay-cation."  A vacation!  I want to daydream...get on a plane and go somewhere exciting and warm.  Have you ever just wanted to drive to the airport, hop a plane, and not come back for a month or so?  I am feelin' it now!  Where would you go if money and everything else was not an issue?

Janice,those words are the opening lines for a song called "The Letter"sung by a group called The Boxtops in the mid 60s.It was a very big hit for them and a good song.Look it up on YouTube and tell me if you like it!!!

I remember that song very well.  This post also reminded me of "Leaving on a Jet Plane".   Peter, Paul and Mary sang it but I think John Denver wrote it. 

Didn't mean to hijack the thread with song memories.

I'd go to Hawaii but only if I could take my husband, son and his girlfriend and of course, with unlimited funds.

I would definitely soak up the rays in South Florida. This northern, wintery weather is beginning to wear thin on me, LOL.

I would love to have the resources to jump on a plane in a minute's notice!  Right now is the best time to take a vacation.  The price of flights are down due to off-season.  As a matter of fact, I booked our airline reservations last week for our trip to Hawaii in June.  They weren't cheap, but well worth it ~ or will be, any way!!
Have a wonderful day!

Well, you two, I am from that era.  However, i wasn't thinking about that song when I had the longing (maybe it was subconscious!).  I just know I'd like to leave for awhile and spontaneously go somewhere exotic.  Maybe Tahiti or Shanghai or Bangkok.  I don't know.  Just feelin' it!

I would love to hop a plane to  grand Bahama island for about to months right about now. I was down there once a few year ago for a day. I fell in love with the island and the people. :peace: :snowflake: :wave:

Just do it! That's what I did about 2 months ago. I haven't been working so money was tight and I treated both my sons for their birthdays because I'm the best mommy in the whole wide world! lol... Meanwhile, my oldest is 26 and my youngest is 9! lol ... put it on a credit card and put it outta my mind like I was rich or something! It was the best vacation in a long time and we only went to Lake Buena Vista, Florida and did a day trip to Universal Studios and traveled through Harry Potter World. Who wouldn't wanna see the things Harry Potter lived!? lol

watch out when you go through security.
The TSA just got approval for forced irradiation.
With so much protection, you can feel restrained.

Yes!  Going to the airport, buying a ticket and just leaving for awhile sounds AWESOME.  Let's see, my choices would be:  Tahiti, Martinique, the Florida Keys, Hawaii.  Can you tell I need a beach and everything nautical?  LOL!  It's been a very long time, but at least I can dream!

You are fortunate to be from that era...the music was great.I am a musician and that stuff happenes to me all the time.Hear a line and associate a song with it!!

Anyway,hope you find some R&R soon!
