World Cruise

W henever I retire, O nce my lump sum comes, R emind me of my promise to L oad my case and not return. D estination.....The World. C ruising on a slow boat. R oaming the seven seas. U nder balmy star fill skies, I 'll sip herb infused teas. S eeing all the different countries, E nvisioned only in my dreams.

Thank you Bawa. But I must let you into a secret.....I would never drink tea if I could have red wine instead.

Words chosen to create a beautiful dream--and it's done so right, it will of course, come true!

Thank you for your kind comment Vijay. When I was a child, my father often said he wanted to go on a slow boat to China. A wonderfully strange man, he had many little quotes such as this. He never made it, but perhaps I will fulfil his dream.
