Leaving Home for the first time!

Hi People,

I have done my share of fighting and a lot of trading.
So It was time to put new shoes and take a walk out of town.
I planned to make a short trip , maybe a block or two to take the in the scenery.
But it took me a little bit further down the road. Not much mind you.
I am a newbie and as such , home still have its apeal.

So after some tought I bought my new shoe and fitted it with fancy laces....

Well, reaching the street i looked up and wdown, left and right...
And after a brief indecision I choose my patch....
I went for the fringes....

The core looked to much for now. And in possession of my new shoes and with bright eyes I started to see the wonders outside my home.....
Probably for the most traveled , I will have naive eyes.... BUt it is my new trip.
I am a newbie , all is new... all is beautifull...

A block or two ahead I already found some things for my camera to pic....


My map showed I was still a block or two from my home so I was confident....

And then.... one new wonder..... This was a sight to remember.
My first water world , I was ready to leave my flag , when I looked over my shoulder and saw another flag already there.
Well I knew I have neighboors , so I moved on...

And so... walking down the road I choose I saw some sights , many I knew just looking from my window back in home.

Then , I saw a ugly house , I should have walked away , it gave me the creeps....
What could live in there......
Braving my nerves I aproached the house, grabed my camera and took a picture.
And very soon and very fast I left that block behind me....

Still walking and still with wonder in my eyes I saw some astounding things to me

A pair of childrens playing in the field....

And then a surprise.... Yes a small gem in the garden.
Not so beautifull , but intriging in its own.....

I was marveled at what I was able to find , at each stop , at each crosso road, at each block.
I Jezz, my world was so beautifull
I finaly could understand the lure my friends felt , the need to leave home....
So I forged on.....



Not much ahead , I found another ugly house.
But this time I was prepared for it, and to my surprise , I saw beauty were once was only ugliness.
Yes, it was not my home , had not its quality, its charm....
But was a home nonetheless , some one could live on it....

Then I walked a bit more , and started felling home sick.
This reminded me from the moon in the night sky...
I think it was time to head back. I saw many things , I discovered many wonders....
But home called.

It was a very short trip. Filled with pleasures. And I know my wanderlust has awakened so this was only the beginning of my journeys.
Back in home , I was putting my photos in the album.
And I noticed I left out a few important pictures.

So here they are , in my modest opinion , the jewels of my first travel...

Those two house were so beautifull I was entranced, and kept my hours walking round and round
Seeing every aspect of it. Looking at every wonder it has.
That were places were I could live.....

Maybe one day.....



That is it people.
My first trip , my very first , short , and delightfull trip.
I am back in home , have to work a little , but I am already planning my next vacation.
Who knows, maybe we see each other out there....

Bye!!
 
Travel safe, CMDR, wherever your wanderlust takes you.

Also +1, CMDR Ziggy, for the Queen ref!

Beautiful and poetic story telling!! Repped.

Welcome to the club!!! You'll be out soon enough..after your first trip, you can't stop for long!
 
A nice little exploration adventure. Rep to you Commander! Before you know it you'll be sipping tea around Sag A*.
 
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE MESSAGES!!!

I tried to make a simple , been there X ly and saw Y planets , in something more interesting
Specialy because was a short trip.
Just to test my nerves , It was very strange to know I could not land and repair my ship at any star system...
It really gave me the creeps in the first few hundred light years...

Them I found a confortable rhythm between the jumps and the things got easier from there....
Now I am ready for a real deep space exploration.....
I wetted my feets, now it is time for the deep plunge!!!
