It’s done. I woke up this morning, not expecting today to be any different from the norm, but on an impulse I booked a flight. It took me about 45 minutes to make the decision to go and then book the flight. My decision-making process is scary sometimes.

So there it is. I’m going to Thailand. For 25 days. It kind of freaks me out. February 1 also seems very far off, even though I know it’s not. The good thing is that I get to skip February in Hamilton, which is a pretty rotten time to be in Hamilton. I’ll be traveling by myself, for the most part. I’ll meet up with Tan for a week or so in the south. I’m going to probably spend a lot of time just hiking around with a backpack on my back. I’ll try to take as little as possible with me. I’m going to also do as little planning as possible. I will do some basic research on places to stay and stuff. But mostly I’m going to wing it. I think I’ll get my scuba certification while I’m there too. Apparently it only takes four full days there, and you get your international certification. Here, it would take a month of weekends, and I’d have to take the course in a swimming pool. Tropical beaches and coral reefs? Yes please!
Well heck it freaks me out too but it’s such an incredible opportunity for you. It’s almost odd how happy I am for you. :hug: It’s about time you did something for you.
this is so exciting!
it sounds like a script of a movie
nono you know what it sounds like? a script of a reality show. That’s what the first episode of “long way round” with ewan mcgregor sounds like.
“we’re gonna be traveling mostly alone, we’re gonna pass throgh this and this, we have a few basic places to stay”
heehee
awesome decision making 😉
thailand definitely sounds exciting! remember, malaysia is right next door 😀 soo close you could even take a bus down!
good luck with the diving cert! its a whole lotta fun. i got mine two years ago with PADI, and yep took me four days. and i was incredibly tanned by the end of the whole trip.
february does seem a little far away to me right now…. but next thing i know… it will be february!
