Travels Abroad and Beyond A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain? Kahlil Gibran

I am feeling somewhere between happy and sad at the moment.  I will miss my family and friends SO much. And especially my dog, Molly.

But I realize how quickly time flies and so much will happen during that time.  I'm looking forward to being in India soon!
