Vacation Plans

Everyone’s vacation plans
Are different from yours.
Some folks like to take a cruise;
Others prefer tours.

There are those who like to be
On islands so remote,
They have to carry their supplies,
A week’s worth, on a boat.

Many people like adventure:
Parachutes and skis;
Rafting, climbing, bungee jumps –
No safety guarantees.

On vacation, some folks camp;
Some like five-star hotels.
What works for others, may for you,
Be something that repels.

To plan a trip, do not consult
Your family or a friend.
What’s magical to you might not
Be what they’d recommend.

Admire their pictures, read their blogs,
But keep one thing in mind –
We all do better following
A trip that we’ve designed.

So off we’ll go to get away
To our own paradise;
And when we show our pictures off,
Our friends will say, “How nice!”
