wow great little write, and the pictures just gave your words a boost, sometimes reading articles like this, books and strong imagination takes me places too, so before I pass I\’ll have visited every place on Earth realistically or and through the mind Great entry once again

So sad you won’t be traveling any more, but at least you are able to capture all these beautiful things in your writing, great presentation and excellent flow, good Job Christine

I can almost hear the wishing from you’re words a beautiful write from you. May be one day you’re wish will come true, we never know what’s coming to us.

what a great and lovely piece..thanks Miss Ramsay..

If I’m a genie, I’ll grant your wish, Christine. Another powerful write, just keep on believing, you will never know.

Great writing that makes you want to run for the first airplane you can catch. More reliable than a travel agency ad.

Nice travelogue. The place where you live is pretty nice, too.

Excellent read with nice pictures. Thanks.

When we can no longer physically travel, we can always cure our wanderlust with our imagination. Great write!

Excellent writing, Traveling is the part of our Life.

You cant retire from traveling. Visit us in Africa, we really like visitors. Nice written.

nice poem and nice pics.. very well done Christine..your this poem makes me look forward to travelling, how nice, but the problem is need to save money and also take leave from the work… sad…
maybe I should travel to UK, and look for you…heehee.

Very nice poem Christine. I like to travel too.

This is the first piece I have read of yours & I really enjoyed it. There were some great lines with a sad end. Its been years since I left these shores yet your imagery is making me realise what I have missed!

Beautiful scenery and attractive places to visit.

Travelling is a great way to enjoy life, my friend. Don’t you think so?

I can really identify with you. When I worked at the off priced clothing store I saw so many people from all over the world come in and some made regular trips here. I was amazed that they could afford it. I have never been outside of the USA except briefly to Canada and I’ve seen little of my own country, which I felt I should explore before going anywhere else. It didn’t occur to me as a child and young adult that your countries there are so much smaller and closer that for what would be a trip to a neighboring state here you could be in a whole other culture with a whole other other language, like going from Texas or Oklahoma to Mexico.

Never say never you might get away yet.

enjoyed this thank you for sharing a great poem.
My thoughts too. I would so love to travel maybe one day!

Your desire shows strongly here. Keep wishing – you never know what tomorrow might bring!

Traveling to far away places is always good for the heart.

It would be really great to travel, sounds like it would be lovely. Unfortunately there are means that can’t be met to be able to travel sometimes. However, you have written a great poem….very well composed as always (:

This is a great entry. I love to travel too. It’s nice to visualize yourself in these places. Basically, I have just traveled around the world.

Wow! this is so classic in tone. If it was not for the last line, this is so perfect for children to recite. This is so worth the publication in print. Really lovely piece maam, and one of the stanzas fits the Philippines well. I wish I could travel many parts of the world, too.

A love to travel as well and those pictures make me want to pack my bags. Beautiful write Christine!

Wonderful share. As Will said, keep believing.

nice! I LOVE TO TRAVEL because I have an “addiction to wonderment”

A woman after my own heart. Very nice, Christine.

Christine, I would love to travel if I had a purse full of money but as it is I’ll have to be content reading about far away exotic places.

That was great Christine…. I loved the tour
Great way to keep the planet in the loop…. as a topic
Along with some dreams.
cheers

A wonderful journey if not only by imagination and it would be good in reality. Who knows what the future holds with your son in Japan anything is possible is it not……..

Don’t worry and remember…Far away places you can get a look inside the pages of a book. I have traveled many places and through many time periods through my love of reading.

wonderful poem.

great poem Christine, one never knows whats round the next bend. So maybe your travelling day have not yet come to an end. Hettie

Let’s visit Bali too, Christine, I’m sure you will love it.

Thank you so much everyone. Who knows what life will hold. I know I shall still do my annual trip to Italy to see my mother for a year or two yet.

Christine

Oh for a magic carpet or teleporter!

Oh, how I’d love to also. Great post.

“Imagination’s amazing when you’re feeling confined…” …damn I’m feeling that way right now!…if it wasn’t for the animals ( work other responsibilities)…I’d pack up everything and move to the Northern Territory (Australia) ~ cheers Christine

Christine this was flipping good

You have a sincere desire Christine, just keep the fire burning and don’t cease to pray. Who knows, God may grant you this wish. Another fine write my friend.

Dreams always gives hope and a reason to live for. Fantastic piece.

Imagination is a wonderful thing, with it we can travel to some of the most beautiful places in the world. Lovely poem, Christine!

With the internet, you can travel where ever you’d like. Use such fine travel guides as Francois and James DeVere!

I would love to travel too. I don’t usually travel too much outside of New Jersey.

Your words make me want to go on a round the world trip! Its beautiful.

I’m with you Christine, this is a lovely poem that had me dreaming of far away places.

Dream dream dream.
I too Christine would so much like to flip here and there and every where…

One dream I have is to own an ocean-liner and travel the seas visiting every port at will.

Thank you for letting me know that my dreams are similar to yours..awww

If we save up we could both go on a world tour together. Wouldn’t that be great?

go girl go, maybe pick one journey and aim to do it – why not?

wonderful poem! I love the supporting pictures.

Such a beautiful poem and I hope you will be able to travel again.

If you want to travel then travel! A great poem with a lovely flow to it. Good work Christine.

Sorry I missed this one. I am trying to look back and play catch up while I am home sick with a cold. I may have to stop and go to bed soon. Your verses were lovely and I to love to travel. I just wish I had more time and money to go more places. We have a cabin booked in the Great Smoky Mountain in Oct. I can’t wait!

I love travelling so much. Yet I haven’t been on a plane in 2 years. I hate being broke but hey, one day i’ll make my dreams come true and do all the traveling I need. in the mean time, thanks for a piece that hits home.

What a lovely poem. I haven’t travelled much but I love to explore my own country.

Very nice places. THese should be visited at least once in a lifetime.

Traveling is great and very enjoyable.
After reading this piece, I had travel with your thoughts too, but of all the enjoyable places, (for sure traveling means to go to beautiful places and enjoy the scenery),
I was deeply touch by “places of the poor countries”.
A rare travel with 56 of us, I mean 57 including me and still more coming to cruise with us.
A powerful piece of poetry. Congrats Christine!
Liked!
Thumbs Up!

Excellent!
