The day has finally arrived for me to embark on my three month journey around the Pacific. I leave this afternoon for Hawaii. It is with mixed emotions that I go. I am so excited to see the world, dive in amazing waters, experience new cultures, tan on some of the world's most amazing beaches, get sick on random street foods that I can't help but taste...and at the same time leaving so many friends back home is tugging at my heart strings. I don't like being sad so I am trying to avoid it as much as possible. It's not that I don't care about leaving close friends or that I won't miss everyone dearly, I would rather just choose to be happy so that's what I do. (Hopefully I can keep that philosophy up on the road!)
The last several weeks have been so full of preparations that I am glad to be done with the planning and finally to be going. My bag is packed weighing in at a mere 22 pounds. That's pretty light to live off of for 3 months and I feel proud of my minimalism. I probably could even take less, but a few creature comforts are hard to give up (i.e. one very tiny blow-dryer, face moisturizer, and other girly necessities).
I guess the last two weeks since I left my job, I have been busy living. Playing with friends and packing have taken precedence over other things. Alas, one thing on my list of "to do's" before I left was to continue my Mallorca posts. Those of you interested in seeing more pictures follow this link. Many people asked me about the photo I posted of the dolphin (no I didn't take it) but if you check out Tom's album on the link you can see the actuals dolphins we saw.
