Preparing for Departure


It's four days before I leave for my adventure in South Africa. Packing is a bitch but it's exciting to know that I'm so close to being my journey. There are a million thoughts that scurry through my head as I say goodbye to so many people, and of course my dog. The lust for adventure seems to take precedence over the fear, but there is still so much unknown. In a week from today, I'll be walking on the soil of South Africa and life there will begin. But tonight, I'm sitting home packing it all in, trying to figure out how to use a blog and preparing for life with no vehicle, no cell phone and no expectations of what will come before me.
