I was suppose to fly to Bangkok on March 25th. Quite a lot has transpired in that time. For one, I'm still in Ubud, Bali and I have no idea how long I will be here. It looks like my itinerary is significantly going to change. However, I'm just not sure what that will look like right now.
I'm not going to stay to much as to why I'm still here. One of the reasons is my body said "NO" to moving on. I will say that sometimes Life put's me in the places I need to be in rather than the places I want to be in. Not to say I don't want to be in Bali right now, it's a very easy place to be, however, I didn't think my trip would take a sharp right turn.
I'm safe, and comfortable and doing ok. Sorry to be so elusive right now. It will take me a while to write what's happening. Plus I'm still writing my "practical guide to Ubud".
I'm ok, and it's all good.
Thanks for your patience!!

Don't Panic
Lesson number one in traveling, taken from one of my favourite books by Douglas Adams The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy...Don't Panic. I've spent the past week in a state of semi panic, fear and frustration. All for not. It's amazing the range of emotions that I've already gone through.
Oh, I have my passport and my Indian visa and will be taking off for Hawaii Monday morning. All is a go. Phhheww!
I now see why people spend at least 4 months planning an around the world trip instead of 3 weeks. There's a lot of bureaucratic crap that needs to be taken care of before one leaves. Then there is the packing and re packing and re-re packing, getting rid of more stuff, buying other stuff, getting vaccinations (my arms still hurt), finding herbal remedies, making last minute calls, watching money leave my account like it's an open drain....BREATHE!!!!
Panicking is never good. Not that I was actually in a state of panic, but frustrated enough to begin to think I should have never booked this trip. Or at least so many countries. Perhaps India or New Zealand would have been good enough. I was told though to get use to the inconsistency of information while traveling. OK fine. I HAVEN'T LEFT YET!!!! Don't panic. Gotchya. Everything happens for a reason. I got my first lesson..notes and drinks taken...don't panic
Oh...wait...what do I do with my car!!!!
