Many people seldom travel far from home. They stick to what they know: the roads and intersections most familiar. They don’t envy friends who do travel, but don’t always enjoy hearing the stories of others’ journeys.

            Then there are those who relish going overseas, or traveling across America, or taking cruises to far off places.

            They love seeing castles and monuments, standing along the banks of rivers, lakes and even streams. What’s important is “being there” rather than watching documentaries on television or looking through someone’s photo albums.

            Your task is to write a story that involves travel, specifically to somewhere far from the protagonist’s home.

            Have fun with this one.
