one more day

I've spent most of the evening packing, trying to figure out what bag(s) to take, deciding to leave this or that item at home and sitting/pushing on the suitcase to make it all fit. After years of waiting, the moment when all my dreams come true is almost upon me. But now I'm starting to think that after all this time, I'm not ready. Apparently, two months of break was not enough to prepare myself.

Now that I think about it, when will I be ready? I have no idea what to expect leaving all that I know behind. It's a strange feeling, leaving the security of comfort for the feeling of adventure. Maybe there is comfort in knowing that I don't know anything? Whatever. I won't try to analyze too much, but just try to take it all in stride. It's going to be great!

Tomorrow is my last day here in the States. Unfortunately, I can't work on my base tan here in Florida because of the rainy weather. I know, poor me....sorry to all of you Michigan people hit by the snow! So instead of laying out, I'll be zooming around the Cape, picking up last minute things for my travels. If there are any good book suggestions, I'll take 'em...
