Here I Am
Oh beautiful beings,
Tonight, at 730, Logan and I shall be on an airliner heading East, with India being our ultimate destination. We have a two-day stop-over in London where we will be staying at a hostel near Buckingham palace, Hyde Park and Kensignton Palace. Then, on Sept. 12th we fly to Muscat, Oman and then to Delhi, India where will stay for 100 days in this sacred land. From there we will begin our circuit which includes Jaipur, Agra, Varanasi, Dharmsala and a ton more places I can't remember (or can't pronounce).
So here I am in Calgary, wearing my western clothes, eating my western food, driving my japanese car and wondering what will "freak me out" first. All these luxuries I may have taken for granted will practically dematerialize before my eyes! I know I'm in for a shock!
Either way, I'm looking forward to the sights, the people, the history, the good conversation, the magic, the food but also the challenges. I'm anxious to leave this comfortable existence in Calgary, along with all those I love to expose myself to a whole new reality. I'm excited to fly (airplanes are fun!) but also to see London in all it's glory before I head over and experience the immortality of India. But, through all these anticipations I remind myself that it is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.
I will try to always be aware that I am extremely fortunate to have this experience.
Here is my last day in familiar realms. I am ready, I am focused, but most of all, I am open-eyed/minded/hearted as there has never been better time to be ON FIRE!
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
Namaste

Hey world-travelling sista!
Heard you were delayed in Cal until almost midnight. That must have been torture...being so close to starting your adventure, and then having to sit around in the "lovely" departure lounge for another 6 hours. But then again, I guess that's part of the adventure! So how was the flight? Was the plane huge? How's London? TELL ME EVERYTHING! Can't wait till we're swapping Thailand/India stories....or maybe Paris/India stories soon!
Love you!
Peace.
