There are a couple of things that I have neglected to mention here (purely by accident) that I think you will be excited to hear about.
NUMBER 1 – I officially have a launch date! I am set to leave Friday, January 7th, 2011. I’ve booked my flight to LAX (Los Angeles Airport) and have been instructed to meet the others at the Cathay Pacific Airline counter. Yikes! As of today I only have 6 weeks left in the States. The last few months have gone by so fast!
NUMBER 2 – My route has changed. I knew that changes can be expected to occur on the World Race but I never imagined my route would change before I even left home! So, this is my new route that is, of course, still tentative:
- Thailand
- Cambodia
- Australia
- Malaysia
- India
- Nepal
- Swaziland
- Mozambique
- South Africa
- Moldova
- Romania
Time is quickly passing me by and I still have so much left to do. I have three official weeks of work left. (This is so creepy…it will be the first time in 18 years that I will be technically “unemployed”…this will definitely take some adjusting to). I have to sell my car soon. Kia Sportage 2007 LX, 35000 miles, automatic, $8995…just in case someone reading might know of someone interested. Even though I am done purchasing all of the big ticket items, I still have small things that need to be purchased. I made an Amazon wishlist here just in case. And then most importantly, I want to spend every single waking moment being with those I love so dearly that I am going to miss SO much next year. 6 WEEKS! Hmph. I’m sure it will all happen when it’s supposed to. I just have to take it one day at a time and not forget to breathe! =)
“Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:4-7
