Kissimmee
The cobwebs were thick and refused to untangle. It took a while to shake them away and after some time I pried my eyes open to blinding light. And chirping birds, and such fresh smelling breeze. I wasn’t in Kansas no more, that’s for sure.
I took a stroll down the Main Street, I was pretty sure that was it, with quaint little shops alongside and paused at the large billboard down to my left.
“Welcome to Kissimmee“
Then someone called my name. To the aquatic center, he said. The bass were biting. I took a step towards the park and almost fell. I was swinging up in the air in wide circles, with people around me throwing their hands up in the air and big smiles on their faces.
I was in the carnival and it was night. The pretty lights adorned the dark like stars come down from the sky. The music filled the air and smelt of butter popcorn and hotdogs. I didn’t want to come home yet but someone was calling my name again.
“Hey come on, lunch is over. Meeting starts in 10 minutes. 10 minutes…. 10 minutes…”
The cobwebs were suddenly back, and I was fighting to stay in Florida.

Yup, dreaming. By this time, it’s not a wonder to find me daydreaming out of frustration with our still-pending incentive trip. It was supposed to be in Tokyo last February but the visa approval went kaput; then it was voted to be moved in June for Cairo but that’s not even sure yet. But who’s complaining right? The best things in life, as they say are free. No worries as long as we get that well deserved reward. Soon, I hope.
And of by the way, Kissimmee is a real city in Florida and they’re giving away three (3) weekend getaways (3 days/2 nights) for two (2); and two (2) weeklong vacations for four (4).
