"Anticipation"

(Delightedly typed the
Evening of March 13, 2010).

Sweet anticipation,
That flutter in the stomach,
The thrilling lightheadedness!

With a click of the mouse,
My plane ticket was bought--
I'm going to Germany for Easter!

My bags to pack,
Fun details to plan,
The countdown has begun!

Dear friends to visit,
New lands to explore,
Plenty of museums, for sure!

Forest trails to hike,
Wines ready for tasting,
Maybe I'll try some schnitzel!

Oh how I love to travel,
To discover new beauties,
To seek the awaiting adventure!

To journey with a friend,
To find a new favorite spot,
Experiencing life across the sea!

A few weeks still to wait,
Yet waiting is half the fun,
The joyous anticipation of a trip!
