Hey World,
Now i know this is titled 'world travels in writing' (for those on the blog rather than on facebook) but for some reason I felt like writing a bit leading up to the travels so here we go.
It would appear that the time for me writing endless, somewhat crazy, and definitely long winded - as this sentence is evidence of - blogs is fast approaching. It is under a month until it is time for me to once again head off to America to love life working at a summer camp. Time at some has been very different this time around with adjustments from arrival right through to leaving again, but I'll come back to that. I seem to be unnaturally well prepared for the upcoming trip, which is very unlike me. usually i just wait till one or two days before and then it all just happens to fall into place. who knows maybe that will still happen, fingers are crossed it doesn't though! The biggest hope i have is that my shocking run of bad luck when it comes to departure times out of Melbourne does no continue and I can either leave on time or even just a little bit late. Not the hour late of 2010 and certainly not the three hours, or what ever ridiculous amount it was, of 2011!
As for life at home being different. After 15 years of never actually being home alone thanks to my favorite little four-legged friend, I found myself to be just that due to his passing a couple of days before I got home from my previous travels. While this may not sound like much to many people it did take longer than I would of liked to adjust, and not too sure if I actually have managed it just yet.
The brighter side of changes also includes the numbers in the house changing from the usual four into five for six months due to me being lucky enough to have a friend from England deciding on a change of scenery and coming to live in Australia, or more specifically... here. What I doubt will be surprising to anyone is that I think the family would be happy to ship me off and have her stay permanently, so I should be thankful there was never any sort of vote or ballot. While it was undoubtedly filled with ups and downs I do hope that overall it was a good six months for her.
During this time I got to be a tourist in my own state for the first time, which was great! And even though she's leaving, the 'tourist at home' side of me doesn't end just yet with another friend coming to stay starting in 2 days. this time from America. So it looks like I wont be moving back into my room just yet!
Even with such a small amount of time before i head off to America. I still think there is plenty of time for a lot to happen!
Hopefully I find myself with more to write come departure time, and lets hope it starts with more than me complaining about Qantas!
Take care all
