This is the end
International Travel, the end
This is the end
Flying International Airlines, the end

Policies and Invitation letters, the end
Long Visa application queues, the end
Customs and immigrations, the end
I’ll never live out of a suitcase…again

Forex and conversion fees, the end
Jet-lags and sleep-walking, the end
Bland food with Tabasco, the end
I’ll never lose days traveling…again

Lousy long flights, the end
Living at your mercy, the end
Delays and surprises, the end
I’ll never live through this…again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Never in need of some stranger’s hand
In a…strange land

It hurts to set you free
But you’ll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to fly

After a very rough year with international travel, I’m glad to say, no more international travel for me. (not at least for work or conferences).
