Sour Grapes Their third trip now...again to Italy; first two by air that landed into Rome. They're on a cruise ship now near Sicily... it seems they're always out and never home. We were invited once to come along; thank goodness that for us it could not be. Between our work and cost, it would be wrong to satisfy ourselves so stupidly! How boring being stuck on a cruise ship... all one can do is watch the sky and sea! Exploring foreign lands...well, this we'll skip; the people will be snobs, we guarantee! We'll just vacation in our cozy yard... when they return, their tales we'll disregard. Sandra M. Haight ~1st Place~ Premiere Contest: Sour Grapes Sponsor: Mark Massey Judged: 09/11/2018 (Fiction for Contest)

A perfect example of sour grapes Sandra. Congratulations on your trophy win! I never want to be stuck on a ship. I get seasick! But I love to fly and travel. ; )

Thank you, Connie. Guess I had fun with this one trying to be a nasty, sour grapes person! We've been on many cruises, but we don't get seasick and have never become ill due to germs, etc., and we love them! Hugs, Sandra

Hello Sanda, it is est to listen to the way tyour friends talk about their trips. Some do not like the ship they were on. Some do not like where they went. On and on they complain. Some people are never happy where they travel. Have a nice day my friend.
