My Favorite Vacation

My favorite vacation would have been my very last summer vacation travelling to Florida with my daughter and husband was an inspiration Who knew, not long after we would be hit with a world wide pandemic the sun back then was a splash of rich golden yellow, so totally Semic Early morning visits sleepy eyed like white tail deer we entered a shop hot bagels of every kind steamy coffees, summer dresses, flip flops Sun tan lotion by day, Italian ravioli by night, it was indeed a sweet holiday stretched out on the beach with sand between our toes we enjoyed the rays It had been ten years since our last real holiday last time I had gone on a plane today I look at the photos and smile, who knew things would soon go so insane Maybe tomorrow it will be over and I can return to Florida with my small family this time my son might come along too then we can bathe there, peacefully...

Yes Joe, we all need to get away, and these days, even a trip in the car to the lake is a nice break for me, keep well, stay healthy, thank you for the kind visit :)

Ravioli. pasta, pizzas - they are all favorites in Malta. I can't eat them much because of blood glucose. My farotite vacation was when I took Lillian to Holland. She was not very enthusiastic. but when we arrived she was elated.

Definitely it must have been a wonderful vacation in recent times as we are all stuck home with the pandemic . Around that time I too had gone on a vacation to Florida.... It was not merely a vacation, it was to attend my sister's marriage ! Beautifully written !

Yes it was Valsa, like they say, when you look back it becomes all the more dearer, as you with your grandparents, we realize what we had, and we cherish it most dearly, Have a wonderful day dear
