Half The World Away…
“Who knows where the road may lead us, only a fool would say
who knows who we’ll meet along the way
follow the brightest star as far as the brave may dare
what will we find when we get there?”
La Sagrada Familia – Alan Parsons
“In a big country, dreams stay with you,
like a lover’s voice fires the mountainside”
In A Big Country – Big Country
“I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
don’t know when I’ll be back again”
Leavin’ On A Jet Plane – John Denver
“it doesn’t matter where you go in life
…what you do….
…or how much you have…
it’s who you have beside you”
Sign on the study door in our house
“we are sailing in a ship that’s got no sails
we are riding on a train right off the rails
we are in an old Sedan that’s lost a wheel
but it makes no difference to the way we feel.
It’s been a long time, feels like a lifetime,
to be where we are
take a little tumble, fall and maybe stumble
now we’ve come so far
all along the highways of the sun”
Highways Of The Sun – Camel
“Oh Michaela, won’t you take me away
to Paradise, tropical moon”
Camellia – Hall & Oates (lyric slightly changed!)
“On the road again
goin’ places that I’ve never been
seein’ things I may never see again
and I can’t wait to get on the road again”
On The Road Again – Willie Nelson
“I have held you close to all the times
you’ve stayed inside my soul
when I am half I think of you
and life becomes a whole
lazy shores are more to me
than shifting sand and sea
you’re my home, my refuge
where I must be”
Kalynda – Renaissance
“The traveller awaits the morning tide
he doesn’t know what’s on the other side
but something deep inside of him
keeps telling him to go
he hasn’t found a reason to say no”
Days Are Numbers – Alan Parsons
“you’ve got to have a dream
if you don’t have a dream,
how you gonna make a dream come true?”
Happy Talk – Rodgers & Hammerstein
Yep, it’s time to go again. There’s more to see, the world is out there waiting. So much of the world to see.
By Monday, we’ll be….. half the world away….

Have fun on your travels. Ours have been cut short due to Anthony’s health and we have to head back to Perth to sort out the issue. Worried, stressed and disappointed, but there’s always next year.. hopefully

Happy Trails! I’ll add one more for your collection – because I’m a child of the 80s:
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
The B-52s – Roam
Cheers to your next adventure!
Phil & Michaela
