Twenty-four hours from now I’ll be awaiting the arrival of my friends who have kindly offered a lift to the airport (thanks Pat and Miker). Hair is short and sassy (thanks Jan), toes soft and shiny (merci Melanie), and arrangements are in place for condo and plants (thanks Betty).
As excited as I am about exploring a new part of the world, I am having strong flashbacks to last year at this time and experiencing weird bits of sadness. I miss my beloved Nepal as well as the sights, smells and sounds of India, and I’m having pangs about not returning this year. Oh well, there’s always 2017…
Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Northern Thailand! 12 weeks! Bring it on!
