Subject: 帶老爹老媽去旅行
志常：
已有很多年，心中總有個洞，就是總未「找到」機緣與老媽一起旅遊。 工作、子女、另一半的喜惡 …… 各種理由，就是找不出時間！ 說到最心底，還不是有股恐懼： 怕按捺不住的脾氣… 怕特別短的耐性表露於人前… 怕與另一半再生齟齬……
可是，那個「父母不會永遠等你」的恐懼又是那麼強烈！ 手中明明已拿著那塊puzzle，卻久久未敢填入心中那個洞！ 每有想起，都會翻起幾陣難過！ 志常： 你這「帶老爹老媽去旅行」的構想，可能會為不同人補上那個洞！
X X X X X X X X X X
去年，為了看看遠飛的女兒，我那掛心的老媽，竟熬了十多小時飛機，來了英國「檢查」我們的生活，看是否如「報告」中一樣安穩！
而我，也乘著機會，帶著她和孩子，駛了好幾小時快車，到風景湖區遊玩數天；才發覺老人家對於湖光山色，也不甚了了，旨在有兒孫伴著的時光罷了！
透過孫兒好奇的追問，整個旅程，充滿了一遍遍的口述歷史： 你知道日軍轟炸時，村民怎樣帶著金器逃難，而不被搜出？ 共產黨初成立，曾個別盤問某中學的學生，他們問過什麼？ 為什麼大部份之後都要送去「思想改造」，而獨有一人可留下，還分得工作呢？
爹媽的無價，不止於生、育、愛、養我們這班baby-boomers！ 他們都曾熬在一個無法想象的巨變中，是活生生的歷史見證！若有一班後輩，坐在一起，以他們做主角，讓他們來個「想當年」而沒人雞飛狗走，我能想象他們滿足抖擻的眼神喲！
旅行地點我反覺得不重要，只要有孫兒倍伴，就是在西貢專為老人家而建的樟木頭渡假村，也會是好地點，起碼交通不至勞累！ 如來個『二次大戰實錄』之類的主題，會否掀起一番激烈投入的話題呢？ 說不定還為爹媽們找到投緣的棋友麻雀腳，擴大生活圈子！「二次大戰戰友俱樂部」何如？
噢！ 寫了這大段文字，發點奇想，竟已覺得補了少少心中那個洞，沒有開始寫時的那份無奈了！ 志常，鼓勵大家多給意見，可能已有醫治作用了！還未帶老媽出遊，悔咎少了一半，自覺有點無恥耶！
願你此提議，會掀起一番回應，香港會多了一班開心的老人家！
主佑，
嘉怡

去年九月我帶爸媽去北京，他們很開心。過去一個星期，我帶爸媽去台灣，他們也很開心。爸爸喜歡遊覽歷史名勝，我們下一個目標是西安。暑假也許太熱，我會考慮五、六、九、十月。

Although I haven't read Kai Yee's article and we
may not be able to join the trip in Summer (too far to
plan at this moment), I think we may organise a health
checking trip with our parents, and also for
ourselves, to China.
It will be a 3-day trip .

Dear friends,
I think Ka yee has an excellent idea, local trip maybe a good pilot to startwith before going somewhere else! Besides, accompanying by children and grandchildren are good,we also hope that the older adults can befriend
with each other though it takes some time to achieve this goal!
Cheers,
Angel

我們的長者親友，可會有一些未了的心頭願，或一些想去而又未成行的地方呢？不妨趁此時刻探問究竟，time
and tides wait for no man!

You may love this script from a child telling his/her parents:
"Dear Mother,
I take everything that comes from you,
all of it, with its full consequences.
I take it at the full price it cost you
and that it costs me.
I will make out of it something good in memory of you-
to thank and honor you.
What you did must not have been in vain.
I hold it close and it my heart,
and if I am permitted, I will pass it on
- as you have done.
I take you as my mother,
and you may have me as your child.
You are my only mother and I am your child.
You are big, and I am little.
You give, I take, dear Mama.
I 'm glad that you toke Daddy as your husband.
You both are the right parents for me.
Dear Father,
I take everything that comes from you,......."
--"Thanksgiving at the Dawn of Life"

終於帶了老爹老媽們去澳門，有經無險，遇上天氣極度悶熱，上主教山時巧遇雷雨交加，安全計惟有放棄。雖然朝聖少了一個去處，過程還是很豐富。稍後待Tony整理好便有相睇！
