Itinerary

WriteBeLight

How about some celebration!

Time away from chores.

Plan a little get-a-way,

Fresh air, go out, explore.

 

We’ll leave early mid-week.

Few hours to Vermont.

Ferry over Lake Champlain,

Good weather, we hope, for our jaunt.

 

Land in New York’s Port Kent.

An hour, the Lake, across.

Enjoying this time together.

In new surroundings, we’re lost.

 

Up early with the Sun.

Head South to Saratoga.

Two bucks, bet on a horse,

Hope to win big Moola.

 

But, even if we don’t,

This won’t wreck our trip.

Drown our sorrows a little,

Summer beverages we will sip.

 

Off again, we quickly go,

To visit an historic site.

Fort Ticonderoga, we’ll venture.

Then head back before the night.

 

Back home we turn full-circle,

I’m feeling sad and forlorn.

Love to travel in the summer.

Still, I’ll welcome cold weather’s return.

  • FredPeyer

    WBL, I love your "travel documentary", so well written! Know the area, used to drive from Montreal all the way to New York. Beautiful country, especially in the Fall.

      I am sure you did on your bike 🙂 Thanks Fred. I am looking forward to this little jaunt!

    • Heather T

      I'm super jealous! We haven't been able to go anywhere this Summer. I long to be back on Hatteras Island like last vacation 😭. Great write, WBL. I hope you make bank so we can all have that MPS lunch!

        Still keeping high hopes Heather! And, Hatteras sounds wonderful!! My daughter got a chance to drive there last summer! I was the jealous one, for sure. I hope you do get a chance to get away. This is just a short jaunt, but I am looking forward to it nonetheless! Thanks again!

        Love the adventure BUT not the cold weather's return - nice one WBL

        • WriteBeLight

          I agree about the cold weather. But, I do love to ski and skate. Have no choice, otherwise, unless I move. Thanks so much Michael.

            Good write, those short breaks are priceless. Did you take your alpaca with you?
