And I am off.
Tags:Sitting at the Eugene airport - having my coffee + bagel + cream cheese. Gave Chris and Simon lots of hugs and kisses (getting tougher and tougher to leave each time). Told Simon I was going to bring him back a koala and a kangaroo - and that he gets to go see Grandma Pati next week - he was all good.
Starting my scrapbook on the road for this trip here in the airport. Writing about the "context" of this trip, my feelings as I leave, etc. I have been giving an amazing opportunity to travel - so very amazing. Unreal to me at times.
And like I said yesterday, life is for living and that is what I plan to do.
Peace my friends.

Wow... what an amazing experience this trip will be for you. I know it must be so hard to leave, though... it's so great that you can count on Chris and your mom to hold down the fort while you're away.
I hope that you have a great trip and keep us posted on all of your adventures :)
