Back on the Road: Global Musings of a Chicana and her Travels

This started as a way to keep in touch with close friends and family while on my first trip off the continental U.S. to Viet Nam in 2009. It became a journal of personal experiences for myself and a sharing of one perspective on Viet Nam, its spectacular country, and beautiful people, for others. Now I have the opportunity to return this summer and to visit another country across the pond- the Philippines, I will continue my postings and bore you once again ;o)

Preparing for take off....

i've been awake for at least 5hrs now and i'm still wide awake. today is my last day in america as i know it. i'll be sure to return with new eyes and only time will tell if i'll be able to handle it. i'm leaving tomorrow morning to make my way up to sfo and take off to viet nam. i'm excited and a complete wreck inside but it isn't that real to me yet. 

this will be my first trip off of the continent- i'm blowing my own mind thinking about it as i write. what new ways of life and thinking will i encounter? how much will i love the places and people i meet that will make me want to not come back? this trip marks more than just a flight and visit to another land- it screams transition and congratulations on staying alive thus far and wild courage to step outside of my ocd box and it shines with childlike curiosity, wonder, and complete giddiness.

oh what ever will become of me now- i wonder....

troi dat oi- i really should be packin up my chons right now. be sure to hang on though- it might be quite a ride. Happy Sabado!
