The Flying Fish : It's very nice to go trav'lin but it's so much nicer to come home...

Jet lagged - but back
Jet lagged - but home!
... And go mad at the Arcade Gacha (as per usual! More on that later!) ; Meanwhile...

20hr flights later sees me back in my little nest and it's so good to be home as much as I adore travel. Old blue-eyes sings it best with : 


It's very nice to go trav'ling

To Paris, London and Rome

It's oh, so nice to go trav'ling

But it's so much nicer

Yes, it's so much nicer to come home


It's very nice to just wander

The camel route to Iraq

It's oh, so nice to just wander

But it's so much nicer

Yes, it's oh so nice to wander back


The mam'selles and frauleins and the senoritas are sweet

But they can't compete 'cause they just don't have

What the models have on Madison Ave


It's very nice to be footloose

With just a toothbrush and comb

It's oh so nice to be footloose

But your heart starts singin'

When you're homeward wingin' across the foam


And you know your fate is

Where the Empire State is

All you contemplate is

The view from Miss Liberty's dome



It's very nice to go trav'ling

But it's oh so nice to come home
You will find the madchen and the gay muchachas are rare

But they can't compare with that sexy line

That parades each day at Sunset and Vine


It's quite the life to play gypsy

And roam as gypsies will roam

It's quite the life to play gypsy

But your heart starts singin'

When you're homeward wingin' across the foam


And the Hudson River

Makes you start to quiver

Like the latest flivver
That's simply drippin' with chrome

It's very nice to go trav'ling

But it's oh so nice to come home


No more customs

Burn the passport

No more packing and unpacking

Light the home fires

Get my slippers

Make a pizza
