I leave Nairobi tomorrow, departing at 4 AM, on Turkish Airlines Flight #608. A short stop in Istanbul and flight #0017 will take me back to Canada. The ash cloud will not affect me.
I couldn't just let this blog expire without saying bye.
I've had a great time blogging. Scrolling down the page, skimming each post, it's amazing to think about all I've done and seen. I'm proud to say I enjoyed every minute of it - sure there were some hard times (read: stomach indigestion) but you take the good with the bad and move on.
The world's a big place. I'm coming off five months and have only seen a small fraction of it. I'm convinced traveling is a lifetime activity. However, this is less a "I need to get back out there!" comment than a reflection on the fact that since the world is always changing nowhere you go will be the same place twice. Don't ever think just because someone's been there that they've "seen it". There will always be another rock to overturn.
As I say bye to where I've been, I think about where I'm going. Right now I have an awesome job offer in Ottawa for an organization I "toughed it out" so it and I could become better acquainted. Not exactly sure if it's going to work out but it's my main lead at this point. For immediately, I head back to the 'Peg to meet up with Britt, friends and family - all of whom I'm ecstatic to see again. I'm finally going home.
Regrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway. And more, much more than this, I did it... MY WAY!!!!!! (Thanks Frank... ;)
