Hi Everyone. This is Day 9 of #BlogFlash2012 and today’s prompt is Journey. I thought long and hard about this one. I’ve experienced many fantastic journeys and seen some wonderful things, but which one to choose? Canada in autumn? The Caribbean? Paris? Amsterdam? Athens? Then I had a massive jolt of inspiration (it didn’t hurt that much so don’t worry, lol). So for your reading pleasure, here is my take on the prompt.
Journey
A whoop of surprised joy burst from my lips as the radio announced one of my favourite bands was touring the UK.
Heard it on the radio
I grabbed a pen, wrote down the number then pulling out my credit card, reached for the phone. Ten minutes later I’d booked two superb seats. I rang Vicky, told her I’d secured tickets and what date.
The day finally arrived. Excitedly, we drove to Wembley Stadium, parked then found our seats.
The new Wembley Stadium
The palpable atmosphere was electric, the lights dimmed and the opening chords echoed. Lights suddenly exploded to deafening roars from the crowd; Journey appeared on stage.
WOW!
Journey – one of my favourite bands
Reminds me of growing up in Daytona. Went to lots of concerts. Journey was a FAV band too. Great BlogFlash, Carlie! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the day, dearheart ♥
Hi MG,
Journey is still a fav band of mine! I’m happy you enjoyed it and thanks for your lovely comments, my dear friend.
Carlie
Wonderful post Carlie! Definately an exciting Journey…literally!
Thanks for your kind words, Melina. And yes, definitely exciting!
Perfect response to the prompt Carlie, and very exciting too. Not to say my age, but Journey played in the background of a thousand high school memories of mine. :0)
Hi Donna,
Thanks for your kind comments – I wanted to put a different spin on it and wanted to make it exciting too. I’m pleased you think I achieved that!
BTW age is just a number!!!
Carlie
BTW My hubby corrected me, Journey was background in my college memories-not dead yet. Whoopeee!
Well if you are dead, who the hell is writing all your posts and comments??? LMAO
Bwahahah!
LOL I almost wrote about Journey. Instead, they just got a passing mention. I would love to see them in concert!
Phew! Lol. They are absolutely amazing in concert, even now! If you get a chance it’s well worth the ticket money!!
That’s a really fun take on the prompt, Carlie! It sounds like it was an amazing event!
Hi Terri,
I’m glad you enjoyed it – I wanted to do something fun, different and exciting. It was only last year and it was totally awesome!
Awesome response to journey! know the feeling of booking that ticket, travelling to Wembley to see favourite band. Last year I went to see Take That, year before Muse and the year before that Oasis. Don’t ask which was my favouirte. Each experience was different but all awesome. A brillaint piece. xxx
Thanks Lizzie. Have to say it was amazing. I so want to see Muse – they are one of my favourite bands and I listen to them alot when I’m writing. Missed out last time
