One month from today will be our “last day in Australia for a while.”
4 and a half weeks.
31 days.
744 hours.
44,640 minutes.
Who’s counting?
…
It’s a strange feeling to know that in in just a few short weeks, everything we know – our comfort zones and safety nets – will be stripped from us. We’ve had so long to prepare, yet it still hasn’t sunk in.
What will we miss? What won’t we miss?…
It’s a big bag of mixed emotions when we think about how we feel about departing Australia, and “going home” [in a sense] to Asia.
There is this extreme excitement that is, some days, simply uncontrollable. We frolic about, skipping rather than walking, with this joy that I can not explain.
Other days, we feel filled with a worry, or a fear of the unknown; For our health, for our safety…
We’re nervous too. It’s hard to pin-point exactly what that’s about.
And, we’re a little stressed: We’ve got 4 VERY busy weeks left of work, a house to move out of, our lives to pack up into boxes and backpacks, and a heap of loose ends to tie-up.
I look forward to soon being able to write non-mundane, rather; exciting and interesting blog posts about fascinating places.
Even more so, I simply look forward to experiencing Asia.
I have a feeling this trip is going to open up doors that right now, neither of us can imagine.
We’re off to Asia again, which in a way, feels like where we started from.
We have 40 days, 13 hours, and 37 minutes. Perhaps we’ll cross paths somewhere!
Would love to see you somewhere in Asia! Let the countdowns begin for us all!
One month?! That’s exciting!! We are in Melbourne at the moment, but only for a couple of days so not sure that we’ll have time to meet up here. Hopefully we’ll be in the same place in Asia at some point and get a chance to get together there instead!
Yeah it would be awesome to meet somewhere along the way!
Enjoy rainy Melbourne 🙂 it’s a great city. Drink some good coffee!
