Considering the amount of time that goes into planning a vacation – no matter how short – it is appalling that it ends so swiftly. Why does time fly by so fast when you’re having fun? It’s never the same thing when that teacher is talking about all the different ways to dissect the brain. I have barely traveled in the last few several years. I hope to make 2009 a traveling year. AMEN!!!
But when I get married – here she comes with her future marriage plans again! – my husband and I must travel to all places travelable. Of course, I can travel now, but I think the traveling will be a lot more fun if you have the opportunity of being naughty with someone @ odd times of the day and/or night. You know what I mean now! Don’t make me say it; I’m shy. *blushing*
So when I get married, my husband and I might just wake up one morning and decide to go have breakfast in Germany, lunch in Peru, and dinner in India. The next day, we’ll go bake ourselves under the Australian sun. We might even hunt a few crocodiles – just like Steve, the Crocodile Hunter used to do before his unfortunate demise. Then we’ll go to Senegal – just to visit those huge flies I saw there several years ago. I wonder if their flies are still so huge. Another day, we’ll go to Puerto Rico to look for J’Lo’s people. When we find them, we’ll wave to them and keep it moving.
We’ll vacation to Leningrad, Russia – the land of my birth. We’ll see if we can actually see Alaska. If we can, we might just ski dive into Alaska. That should be fun. We’ll go to Italy to have real pizza. And I’ll buy an expensive pair of shoes. We’ll go to Israel to visit the garden of Eden. There, I will get down on my knee and feed my husband an apple. He will eat it and we will know the difference between good and evil. [I wonder if we’ll get banned from returning to Israel if we get caught procreating under one of the trees. I guess we’ll just have to find out]
We’ll go to Nigeria to eat from one of those Mama Put joints. And we’ll give her a big fat tip. We’re gonna wash our own dishes and stand in line to wait for our food just like everyone else. That’s all part of the fun. We’ll go to Paris – the City of love & romance and we’ll fall in love all over again….and of course, we’ll ‘romance’ each other. He’ll whisper sweet nothings in my ear in the language I wish I could speak – French.
Okay, enough of the imaginations. This has become a self-induced hypnosis. I’m finding it hard to snap out of it. Goodness, that French part was really good. So what was I saying anyway? Oh yeah, vacations end too quickly. I know this sounds like a random post. It sounds like I have no reason to be talking about vacations, but you know there is no smoke without fire. *wink*
P.S. Category B of the Naija Blogger Awards is up and running. Please go & vote (FOR ME!!!!) immediately. Click HERE to go to the Naija Blogger Awards blog. I woulda given the link directly to the voting site, but Geisha (even from her blogger grave….sebi she stopped blogging??) has been threatening me to put the link to the Blogger Awards blog instead. She said my votes will not count if I did not heed her instructions. I’m not afraid oh, but…. anyway, when you go to the blog, the link for Category B is on the right hand side. And please, ignore whatever Afrobabe & Iyabo Opeke says. They’re both crazy. Vote 4 me and me alone.
P.P.S. On Thursday, I blogged about the few and very simple things I require of my future bridesmaids, and Lolo Bloggs asked what I had planned for myself as the bride. Now, I feel compelled to tell you all. I just don’t know how you’re gonna take the news. Should I indulge you?

And second.. you canโt see Alaska from Russia.. but you can see Russia from Alaska.. or something like that anyway
And not to worry you wont get banned from Israel.. for desecrating or procreating..Ask someone that knows ๐

RocNaija: Some people do wash their dishes @ Mama Put. There are those Mama Put ones that people stand in lines and wash their dishes. I saw one like that in Lagos. Since Russia can be seen from Alaska, I figured Alaska can be seen from Russia too. Abi dem no get proper window for Russia?
