Last Call....

"Last call for Corsair flight 881 to Paris, Orly." This was the announcement over the PA system as I sat awaiting my own routine flight from Montreal to Toronto. I wondered about the people now rushing to make it to their seats before the doors closed, never to be reopened for any latecomers... Company policy you know.

Who would travel to Paris... business people, vacationers, those like myself who have always wanted to see the city of lights for real and not just on Google Earth? Musicians and pilgrims on their quest to visit the grave of Jim Morrison, honeymooners, romantics and escapees to a new life that they foolishly imagine will be better than what they now live... or a combination of all the above.

What about you… ever think of throwing it all to the wind and blowing your life savings on the trip you’ve imagined all your life? Where would it be to, what would your goals be, who would you share this adventure with?

Let’s keep replies anonymous. That way we can fanaticize and make our virtual plans with no inhibitions or concerns other than over indulgence. But then again, we all deserve a little chocolate now and then, don’t we?
