July 2, 2009...the last moments before our new life begins. Sitting in the airport we kept saying to each other, "We really did it, I can't believe it is finally happening". We both have a feeling of quiet calm...neither anxious nor excited, just not knowing how to process the reality of such a huge undertaking in our lives. What do you do with "we are not coming back"?
It's been unusual for us to be the centre of such interest from people. Everyone wanted to say goodbye or to get together before we went, and those goodbyes were truly heartwarming and emotionally tough. We are really ready for this one last goodbye. As we take off I can see my little fishing village below getting smaller (no it's true the planes fly right over it!) then the plane banked right and we were flying towards our dream. What awaits I don't know; my expectations are focused on becoming more of myself - pushing, stretching, reaching beyond who I am now.
Who each of us discover within is waiting to be revealed? That is the journey - that's the adventure!
