Well, it finally feels real. I have 4 more minutes of work, and then I am officially on vacation. I still have to some unpleasantries to take care of (OZ visa, shots!, packing, etc.)
But in 48 hours I am going back home. I think the entries will be minimum while I'm at home, but they should begin to spice up as the days progress.
I have a million things on my mind, but I am just so excited to see where this trip takes me. Someone told me that luck is preparation and opportunity. I think I have prepared as best I can, and put myself smack in opportunity's way. So hopefully luck is just around the corner.
My one biggest goal is to PACK LIGHT. I have never seemed able to master this concept. Even when I think I have, I realize later (after a soar back and eye rolls from other 'real backpackers') that I have again failed miserably. But I feel that this time, I have learned from my mistakes.
So it's now 5:01, so let the vacation begin!
