Description

"When we disembark, we forgo the guided tour. I say there’s safety in numbers, but Nancy says that the bigger the crowd, the less you see. She wants to absorb as much as we can. I’d rather ride on the bus. Staying on the ship by the pool would be even better, but Nancy wants to explore. In less than a block, we’re lost – exactly what she wanted."

"Shore Leave", written by Dick Carmel and narrated by Duncan Stripp, was inspired by the keywords "mug", "happiness" and "converter".
