Chronicles of a Working Life
GO!
When a plan all comes together, all the multiple parts, after weeks, months of planning, it is very satisfying.
This plan included many parts, and the parts were his family members, his children spread far and wide. It was school break, and he had to design a family holiday to an exotic destination and get children and the adults there and back safely. It wasn't made any easier by a wife who was scared of air travel, and children of various ages from 2 to 15 years old.
Add further complications of our main character, the hero of this impossible mission, nearly missing a flight thru lack of focus, and this humorous escapade makes interesting reading.

It has always been a passion of mine to write. This is the right time in my life to sit down and pick up the pen. After years of traveling like a gypsy around this beautiful planet we all have the privilege to experience each day, I started to write down, children’s stories, mythical stories, stories that are inspired by poems, Chicken Soup stories, and stories from my adventurous past. It’s time in my life to be creative, and to use my imagination. I hope you find some pleasure in my scribblings, and dear readers, thank you for your time. Kindly provide your feedback. With the first step taken, like a lot of my life, I don’t have any idea where the journey will take me.
