Ready for a
Fantastic Holiday – Up, Up and Away
We have been dreaming of a vacation away from
all that we do each day. With my 92 year
old mother living with us each day is pretty full of care giving and all that
it entails.
We are not just dreaming but now
drooling! But there are times that it
seems impossible.
Today I have found however an ideal vacation
for my wife and me. The best part the vacation
is that it will last over 500 days – or just under two years. And it will be all paid for.
There is some preparation I am assuming but
we are in very good shape physically and mentally. We have been very close as a couple for 46
years of marriage. And because we are
now Seniors we will make a unique mark on in the History Books.
Even as I type these words out I am even more
excited.
What do we have to do to get ready? Well we will have to prepare for some
physical stuff. No – not like climbing
mountains or anything like that… but rather like riding a bicycle each day to
get our ‘sitters’ ready. But then again the sitter will not have the same pressure
applied to it on this vacation.
From what I have read about the vacation it
does require each person to ride a stationary bike each day that will force the
body to keep in shape.
Instead of eating a huge buffet aboard a
cruise ship we will lose weight because the food intake will be controlled and carefully
calculated for each passenger – the two of us only!
There is one small set back however that may
turn off my wife. It kind of makes me
grimace a little as well. We will be drinking our own urine for the most part
of the trip. But while that seems a
little extreme we will be drinking from the very best filter system ever! We use a Brita Water Filter now – but the one
we will use on this trip is much, much better.
We will be riding in a small pod that is
about as big as cube van. And the small
drawback is that you cannot get out of the cube van for the full holiday.
Now you have already guessed that it is Space
Travel – right?!
Yep that’s what it is. If she agrees we will be able to fly to Mars,
around Mars and then back home again.
When it takes place I will be about 73 years
old. My wife is much younger however.
And someone else will be taking care of my Mother for that time away… mind she will
be 97 or so when it happens.
How can this happen?
Well a very rich man, Dennis Tito, is
offering this trip to and around Mars, and then back home again to a couple
that is willing to go.
I am willing and so is my wife… I am sure of
that. And I am also sure of the fact
that few other couples our age will take up the offer… they couldn’t handle the
drinking urine part. Couples our age don’t eat strange foods or go anywhere
unusual. Their worlds are pretty tight
when it comes to new experiences or going to new places. And unless the vacation spot has a good golf
course, good beaches and big buffets – they won’t go… or even consider it.
There is some draw backs to this trip. There
is a possibility of radiation bombarding the craft. That radiation could cause
some Dementia and/or Cancer.
But with the way that things go normally in
my world it will be Dementia or Cancer that will take us anyway. Getting it as a result of the travel to Mars
would be okay.
And because the younger couples will do all they
can to avoid getting this kind of sickness – an old couple will be the best
choice. I am sure of that! With us it doesn’t really matter.
Now a thought… at 73 or 74 – returning after
75 years old… I will be closer to death. What happens if I die on the way? What if we both go? Oh boy… what a thought.
The space craft is set on an autopilot that
will guarantee to bring the bodies home.
The funeral can take place on Mother Earth… you know ashes to ashes,
dust to dust… so that nothing up there pollutes the outer atmosphere.
And with the fact that we would be so famous
by that time, the Government will take care of the funeral costs – I am sure!
Dennis Tito… we are ready. Mind you I have yet to tell my wife about the
possible journey.
Up, up, up and away!
