only 3 more sleeps and i will be embarking on the trip that has until now, been the wishful carrot at the end of a stick - one reason that kept me slogging away during the last dark months at a miserable advertising job.
getting away from it all has such a wildly romantic flavor but it probably won't hit me until the moment i step out into that particular heat of asia. right now i am still mulling over the multitude of details/preparation that go into the inverse equation of traveling carefree. still amazed at how much i need [or think i need]. guess the journey will tell. antonia is convinced i will end up being a one woman Red Cross to the unprepared.
sigh. i hope not. that's one role i am leaving behind. and a rationale for traveling solo.
