So then, in less than 12 hours I'll be stepping onto a plane to the other side of the world. Now, just about now I thought I'd really be panicking, after all this is just about the biggest thing I've ever done, but you know what... I'm not. That's not to say that I don't have any reservation about going, just the "right" reservation, the people I'm going to miss. That's only natural, I'll miss my family and friends massively, but the fact that this is just about my only reservation at this late stage proves (to me at least) that this adventure is happening at just the right time. As one of the great philosophers of our time said, "Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it". Recent events have reminded me that none of us truly know what is in store for us in life, but it's there for the taking, and if you're in the fortunate position that you can indulge yourself once in a while, you'd be crazy not to.
I’m pleased to say I’ve managed to catch up with a lot of my pals over the last few weeks, it’s incredible, there are people you can be out of contact with for years at a time, and yet when you get back in touch it’s like you only saw them a couple of weeks ago. It’s for those sorts of people that I’m truly grateful, and am so very lucky to have in my life. For those that I’ve not had a chance to see or speak to, rest assured that this trip has come upon me much faster than I realised it would, and hope that the occasional email will keep things going until I’m back… and if not… well I think a trip to visit me in Oz is in order!
Well, I need to finish fitting 12 months worth of clothes into a rucksack… and pack away the electronic goodies that will keep me entertained on the those rainy days, (Special thanks to Mr. Lee and Mr. Vong for a helping hand on this!) so for now I’ll bid you all farewell.
By the way, if anyone wants to receive a postcard in the next 12 months, make sure you email me your full address!
Now sing with me… I recall Central Park in fall…
