T minus several hours

June 30, 2009

It’s very late in London – 1am to be exact. I’m running on about 8 hours of sleep over the last 48 hours. Portugal with the girls this weekend was lovely – warm, funny, relaxing. But we didn’t sleep and I am not going to be getting much sleep tonight either. It is always such a mad rush before I go off on holiday. But this time it’s not really a holiday because I’m not counting vacation days!

Tomorrow is my last day at work.

I have been so busy trying to sort work projects, transition plans, health insurance, travel insurance, travel stuff, girly trips, bills and flat things. All while trying to stay sane. It has been more than stressful.

Turning your life upside-down is not an easy thing. Actually, it can be a bit maddening. But as my to-do list dwindles, my excitement grows. THIS IS IT!

“There is so much World out there to discover” said a friend a few weeks ago, after sharing with her my news.

Hello World. I’m here. I’m ready. We’re going to have an incredible amazing year.

First stop: Africa
