It's been quite the last few weeks - a short stint in Moose Factory (which was great!), followed by 9 days of packing, last-minute errands, and good-byes. But here we are. I have 3 pieces of luggage, each weighing 70 lbs, which will result in plenty of excess luggage fees along the way, but that's how it goes when you're moving to Asia. I'm just praying for some good strong guys to find me along the way to help when needed!
My first stop is in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to visit some good friends I know from previous times in Asia. I'm looking forward to the 10 days with them, as well as the chance to get over jet lag, and let my heart transition a bit before I actually set foot in Nepal. I will arrive in Nepal November 16, and will start almost immediately into language study in Kathmandu, which will be my home until April.
So, after literally years of waiting and preparation, the day is finally here. Of course, at this time it feels a bit sad with all the goodbyes, and surreal, but I'm excited, too. And I'm looking forward to sharing the journey of the next 2 years (and beyond) with all of you.
