Trips

Esther has the wanderlust. She says when she dies she wants "On the Road Again" by Willie Nelson played. Now she can't enjoy the trip because she's old, tired and blind, but she wishes and dreams. She remembers all the places she's been to and what she did and wants to just go.

Once my neice and nephew came to visit me for the very first time. They had been married for about 8 years. They are from Illinois, but she went to college in Washington near Seattle. They were planning a sort of "honeymoon" to the Seattle area because they had never had a honeymoon and he'd never been there. They were seated outside at a table for 4 during a big family get together in honor of their visit. Even though they had never met before, Esther was one who was seated at their table and they were talking about their plan to leave the next day on their honeymoon trip. Esther turned to them and said, "Can I go?"
