UP UP & AWAYYY....

Its 3:15 pm on Sunday afternoon, 45 minutes from that drive to the airport, about 8 hours from being reunited w/london town and 48 hours from living way more out of my box then i ever thought possible.

While a fury of emotions and thoughts are racing through my head, I am beginning to also return to those feelings of excitement and anticipation, which make me even more ready to embark on this adventure.

Sooo here i go, leaving the best of my life behind for the next 7 weeks and doing what i feel like i was meant to do :)

Writte to y'all on the other siiiide

Arti

p.s. thanks for the great last couple weeeks, nights and days, i'm more luckkky then i ever thought :)

WWCIYD

I was thinking I would wait til Sunday to write my last post b4 i leave..but there is no way I can allow last nite to go unnoticed...

No mattter how far away I will be and how lonely I will feel at times on this adventure I gotta say that only my besties are a bbm away and waiting to hear about all the chaos....

THANKS SOOO MUCH LADIESS....WWCIYD as I sing that and the other version to the song ....

This time next week....

This time next week I'll be enroute to London and just a few short days of being on African soil....the countdown is suddenly more real then I imagined it to be and now the anticipation is just growing....

But whille I continue to anticipate this adventure, I must say its bittersweet to want this week to end...on one hand, I have this adventure and on the other hand I have to sayy bye bye to my friends, family and everyone else in between...bittersweeet is an understatement...

All i can say is that I am sooo thankfull for all the support and amzing notes/emails I have gotten from people..it gives me that much more courage to know that everyone is routing me on :)

7 days and counting....

9 days to take off..

So here it is..the beginning of my entries that will piece my whole trip together in the end...9 days to go and so far all I have is a bed COVERED in stuff that I assume is for Uganda and not a clue on how I will fit it into that backpack that my sister has convinced me lasted her 4 months in Nepal.

It all just seems so crazy...for so long I have wanted to do something like this and now with 9 days before take-off I cant even believe that I have no more CA Exam stress and am finally beginning on the next phase of my life...dramatic of course but seriously would you expect anything less???

3 years of being permanently stuck..to finally feeling like the world really is my oyster is starting to make me feel like I need to find the highest peak in Uganda and scream from the top " HEY WORLD, WATTTTCH OUT :) " and then of course I would need to do my dance...lol..

keep the reading, and i'll keep writing...obviously...lol..who else will i talk to when i am draped in my mosquito net at night?
