When Your Mind Turns To Dreams

I don’t know whether you’ve seen it recently, but it seems almost to be a trend now to Tweet about other people on long journeys. There are those who are unruly, make a fuss all the time, upset the other passengers and, eventually, get escorted off the plane by the local police. Then there are those who discuss political secrets, or exchange insider tips about company stock movements, plans for the future, where a good deal can be made.

On my trip to Baltimore I purposely left both my tablet and my cell in Germany. Not that I had anyone to telephone, more because I didn’t wish to have the temptation there to go online every few minutes and run up a massive telephone bill. I may well have a flat rate – which many do in Germany – but international rates are something else again, and I certainly didn’t want them adding to what I already pay. The temptation to take photographs and then upload them would have been too much, even for me, normally very subdued when it comes to adding to my social media presence, to my Internet footprint.

Some people cannot do without there little gadgets, their constant communication. In front of me there was a woman, on the flight back, who insisted on talking on the telephone through the entire flight, or so it seemed to me. She was talking to her husband, having arrived late for the flight and holding us all up. Her husband was two rows in front of her.

No, I had completely different things on my mind, in both directions, as I am sure you can understand. However, a little distraction or two would have been more than welcome, even though having someone with me, someone I love dearly, should have been distraction enough. But it all remained in my fantasy, all just a daydream because, as with most people, such things simply do not happen to me. I am always the one who wins the smallest possible amount on the lottery, the one who buys the best tickets for a concert and finds herself strategically placed behind a pillar, the one who leans over to stroke a cat and drops her brand new cell phone on concrete paving.

Still, a little distraction isn’t too much to ask for, is it?

Love & Kisses, Viki.
