Eeeooooo...We're going to Ibiza

Wow...some amazing things are starting to happen in my life. I am absolutly taken at how people can come together and share experiences, thoughts, and dreams...and then things just start to happen. Communication and collaboration are together SO powerful that my success and growth through them often takes me by surprise. Recently, a frend came into my life that will have a huge inpact on me, my goals and my memories that I will carry with me forever. I have spent many times in my life being cautious about opening up to others. I am sure it comes from me being a pretty cautious person in general (did I just say that?...hard to believe from a girl about to travel the world by herself). I am modest. I am learning that there are so many opportunities out there in the world that we have open to us, if we just open up and talk to people. I recently took a big leap and opened up to a new friend through the couchsurfing website, and he made me an offer I just couldn't refuse.

In two weeks I will be going to Spain (taking some of my vacation time before I resign from my job) and I will be sailing around the Balearic Islands in the Mediterrenean Sea. We'll be starting in Palma, Mallorca and visiting Menorca and Ibiza (a place I've always fantasized about going to ever since hearing the Vengaboys song). There will be 18 of us total, but only 8 on the catamaran I'll be on. I'll be inspired by the America's Cup tournaments as I learn how to sail through beautiful turquoise waters.

I am excited! I need to invest in some major SPF sunblock! I can't believe my own voice when I tell people about the things I have planned for the next several months! I am in shock and awe of myself!

“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” Bob Moawad
