Warp Speed Ahead!

So it's nearly March & a patient asked me today how the blog was going, "What blog?".........and then there was a lightbulb. "Oh that blog...", THIS BLOG.


Needless to say, I have been EXTREMELY busy with getting ready to leave & somethings have been placed on the back burner.......UNTIL now. Even with a 3hr. lunch break from work, I still find myself nearly living there, which I don't mind. (35 days left at the office, swear I'm not counting or anything!) Truth be told, I am really going to miss working at my current job. The people I work for are pretty relaxed and let me basically do whatever I want in terms of vacation time, & I laugh all day at work! It's a fun job, & I've learned a ton that I hope to still carry with me to a new country.....I've changed in the 2+ years I've worked there....no more gluten, sugar, soy, corn, anything from a box, etc....

At the moment, literally as I'm typing this, I'm trying RAW yogurt for the 1st time with fruts and nuts..I am REALLY going to miss the different CO-OPS. Thankfully, I am going to a country that has tons of choices that fit with my way of eating.

The thing I will miss the most, especially carrying around 50lbs. of backpack crammed with my new life, & 25+ hours on planes, will certainly be getting adjusted as often as I want. FOR FREE! I can hear myself now, "you want me to PAY how much for this!!!!".

Believe me, I understand the value. I gotcha, loud & clear, but um HELLO, nice to meet you, I'm cheap, & traveling. At the end of the day, it's the most important time to get adjusted, I need to remain healthy so I don't actually use that trip insurance, right......


45 dias mas!!!!!

Fiji will be paid for this week, & then that's it....expense wise..... 

Next weekend I am heading back home to Arizona to sell my Silverado & I'm not really sure how I feel about letting that sexy white truck go..... That has been my baby for 4 years! I got it a few weeks before I left for Europe & now here I am getting ready to sell it before Australia. POOF, truck be gone. I'm praying it sells fast......after driving the truck down to be sold I will be without a vehicle, but I'll have a rental...but still MY vehicle will be gone :(

Ah well, I will take a beach view and sandals over a truck & mountains anyday.
