Me voy mañana… / I leave tomorrow…

Wow. When I started planning this trip 4 months ago, it seemed like it was ages away. Now, I leave tomorrow morning. The time has gone by so quickly this summer as I’ve finished work, moved my things into my sister’s basement, sold my house, sold my car and spent as much time with family and friends as possible.

I guess the thing that both excites and terrifies me the most about this adventure is the openness of it all. I don’t know who, where or how I’ll be at the end of it (…or even when/if it will ‘end’ at all). Mom, don’t stress too much about that last part; eventually my money will run out :).

I can’t thank all of you enough for everything you’ve done for me in the past few months. You’ve taken up a farewell collection that paid for my Yellow Fever and Typhoid vaccinations. You’ve given me wonderful farewell parties. You’ve given me space in your basements. You’ve given me a place to call home. You’ve given me hope, support, encouragement, love and friendship. A million times thank you!

Well, here goes something…

Wish me luck!
