fly away home

I seem to have gotten out of New York City just in time.

As the Christmas rush gripped daily commuters in traffic gridlock wonder | wander | women carefully packed our bags with gifts and clothes for an extended tropical vacation back with family.



As sirens blared and blazed to shut down yet another terrorist threat in the Big Apple I breezed through airport TSA checks patiently waiting to board.



As the first pristine puffs of snow dropped down to blanket the city I landed across the world in the muggy sweltering heat of the little island we were born and raised on.



Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while



Crowd waiting to board in Hong Kong

I'm going away
But I'll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles




10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more




The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return




Oh don't you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree


New Cebu Airport

She's weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine



Waiting for our Bacolod flight.

Oh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me




If I had a friend
All on this earth
You've been a friend to me





"10,000 Miles" by Mary Chapin Carpenter
