The Vegas Girls
It started with a single trip
But what a place to start.
With an organiser like no other,
Barbara fully embraced the part.
We took off to Las Vegas
The name then quickly stuck.
We all got along so famously
Which was a stroke of luck.
We made a wonderful new friend
In Liz who joined the crew.
Our travels became annual,
Something to look forward to.
Flights over the Grand Canyon,
Belaggio Hotel stays.
Whizzing off to Bologna,
To sample the Bolognese.
Berlin - the remainder of the wall
And the beautiful Brandenburg Gate.
Flamenco dancing in Seville
The memories - all so great.
A special trip close to Barbara’s heart
Was like a visit to her past.
To Yorkshire and York Minster
Betty’s Tea Rooms for repast.
A cable car in Dubrovnik
Nothing was too much trouble.
Sightseeing extraordinaire
And always, at the double!
So much to see, so little time
Barb certainly gave her best.
Safe to say she definitely
Put all our feet to the test.
But what wonderful times we had
She really did us proud.
We’d sometimes go off the beaten track,
others just follow the crowd.
But she’d arrange everything from A to Z
With a very strict itinerary!
Golden times shared with such dear friends
We’d hoped the journey would never end.
So sad then, that we’ll travel no more
She will be missed - so much, for sure.
The ultimate tour guide to the end.
Safe journey to our much loved friend.
