It's now official!!! I have finally booked my trip!! YEAYYYY!! Everything feels so surreal. This is a life long dream coming true! WOW!!!
Cortes is finally releasing it's hold on me. I'm incredibly grateful that I took my time and stayed here. It's been an incredibly rich experience. Going through what I went through here provided me with the tools I will need while on the road. I've been able to find a deeper sense of peace and clarity around my life that I've only been ale to sense but not fully integrate and realize. I know there will be challenges as I travel, particularly with visas (I can't wait for the day when we live without borders), but I think I will do just fine. The fear that I had around this trip is changing into excitement, wonder and awe. Ok, there is still a little bit of fear hiding behind my right ventricle, however, I know what the remedy is...JUST DO IT!!! Be safe, ask questions, and if worst comes to worst, share a drink, with no ice of course, with a monkey.
So where am I going? Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, Bali, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Africa,!!!!!! Greece and Turkey to start. Phew! The adventure begins February 6th.
Between now and then, I'll be packing, selling my car, putting what little I have in storage. Oh...and trying to get visa's. Not so much fun.
Oh, if anyone has any points of interest in any of these places, or any other useful information, suggestions are welcome.
See ya'll soon!!
That's so awesome Jen! I'm so happy for you. New Zealand and Thailand, in particular, have always been on my 'Places to Go' list. If you're going to Africa, see about heading South to South Africa. Beautiful people, beautiful countryside. Cape Town, Durban, the Garden Route... I've also heard amazing stories from people who have gone to Tanzania.

Hi D,
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a 43 day safari that starts in Kenya, and ends in Cape town. I'll be going through Tanzania, Botswana, Nambia and Zambia. Then will be staying in Cape town for a few days before heading to Johannesburg to fly up to Egypt. I'm REALLY EXCITED about this trip.
It's going to be so surreal to not have you here on Cortes anymore, but I'm so happy for you and honoured to have been part of your journey!
