I feel as though we are just steam rollin' forward. Well, to be more precise, I feel as though time is steam rollin' ahead and I am being dragged behind. I can feel myself digging my heals in wishing it would slow down ever-so-slightly so I can breathe a little bit. That's not the way it ever goes though. When you want it to go fast, time crawls on by, but when you're begging it to slow down it seems to pick up speed and zip away from you.
I'm not ready for our trip yet.
I know... poor me. About to gallivant around the world and stressing because my vacation is coming too quickly. But it is! I'm not ready! I have things to do, people to see, and my life to organize.
And I only have 10 shifts left at work. Ten. Four shifts until Mexico and only six shifts between Mexico and Peru. Eleven shifts. That is 121 hours of work left. Yippee skippy. And... guuuullllppp.
To break it down even further...
We leave in 35 days. Well our flight leaves in 35 days, but we are catching our flight out of Vancouver so we will actually be leaving a day or two before that.
So of those 35 days...
10 will be spent at work.
9 will be spent mexico-ing (traveling there, back and being there).
15 will be spent not working (though three of those are sleep days and Milena will be having a baby with roughly 10 of those left).
2 will be spent heading to and being in the Lower Mainland.
Wowza.

This sounds normal for prepping for such a huge journey. Totally. I mean, it isn't like you're just going to be gone a couple of weeks. You have to pack up your ENTIRE LIFE. I would feel like I was being dragged along too. I'm sure you'll be able to get it all done, but perhaps not with enough sleep or a sense of peace. Keep truckin'!
It does sound very overwhelming! But seriously, what an adventure. I cannot wait to follow you on your journey! I'm hoping for lots of pictures and entertaining stories :-) PS are you going to the Philippines?
We're considering the Philippines. I really want to go, but Erik doesn't want to. I think it will just depend on how far we get in the 12ish weeks we are there. We aren't actually planning anything, but it would be at the end of our trip.
