Ok ....this's IT!

Last post from SEAsia! Its been quite a journey, quite a time. Before I started this seemingly improbable and unforeseeable adventure I was mostly unable to comprehend the scope of what lay ahead, and now I'm at the cusp of the end and wondering what I use to think.

Where I first started on my first day to SEAsia: sitting in my room in Pui O Beach Hong Kong. Sharing a completely new world with people from around the world, living and sharing under the same roof, and forced to get to know one another...ah many months ago that was indeed...

Another 15 + hour plane ride awaits me, 8 hours until boarding and 2 am now. The coffee static in my brain winding down to a dulled tiredness that I'm sure a could ween it out for another couple hours before any further decisions are needed...bags are packed, and quite full, I'll be pushing the limits of the carry on and checked baggage: a 49 pound suitcase, about a 45 pound backpack with a skateboard, a painting and a mandolin surrounding it and clutching with clear packing tape, another 35 pound backpack for a carry on, a laptop, and a guitar. I've tried my best...everything should clear except for the guitar. I believe the only way to bring it is to issue it as an extra checked bag for something like $50 or $100 extra. If this be the case then I'll simple send it back with Meagan and sell it or just let Adam continue to borrow it. Having paid only $100 for the guitar in the Cebu, I really have no choice....then again I probably would pay $200 for that guitar given the chance....but phew...the spending has got to stop somewhere. Right now just really hoping that they let me an extra carry on for it.......

.........so that's it! Back to B-lo, to do what exactly I'm not sure. But at least now I know there's really another world out there, and that I can get to it whenever I wish! .......quite tired of the travel at this point though, and a part of me is really yearning to get back, at least for little while, need to home base it for a spell.....what's next? ....quite curious to find out...one thing I know is that the family will need me for sure these next couple of months, so I'm grateful to be able to help out, to remember what's important, and to make that next trip given to it's proper time. I suppose I have learned some things these last months, but what I'd really like to think I'll take away is the enforcement of a feeling that I've already known: knowing that at anytime you really can make choices, and that as obvious as it may sound your making choices all the time no matter what anyway, you just might as well be conscious of it - that's all..............................ah, but sometimes....easy and nice and comfortable to just forget this. And in all honesty I feel I need a little rest from it myself, need a good sleep, a new fresh cleansing breath of air, a little exercise, and flat table to lay my cards down and see what I got!.....well, I think I better cut this one off. I feel my train of consciousness starting to meander.....It's been fun, and it's been great to meet everyone that I was fortunate enough to have had the pleasure to. Keep traveling, travel safe, and always see you further down the road....and already much to tell since our last meeting....but up' time for to get going again...........................................
