Blast Off
March 25, 2012
So, here we go. I wish I could say WHEEEEEEE and maybe I will once I arrive, but for now.......wow, am I stressing. I don't even know why, really. I have travelled before - around to the other side of the world even - and I am certainly not the first person to ever take a holiday alone. But..........this is huge for me. Even with the outpouring of support (okay, it sounds like I'm going through some awful battle or tragedy or something, which I'm totally not), I'm still pretty stressed. One step at a time, right?
Get on the plane
Fly (wow, my arms will be tired, that's a long way :P)
Get off the plane
Get a taxi
Get to B&B
Sleep
I can do all that, can't I? Sure. So why is it freaking me out so much? Cause I'm a loser, that's why. But, moaning isn't going to change a thing. I have to conquer my fear and just do it. So, with that final piece of moaning, I will leave you all know and as long as I can get my ipad working in Belgium, will give you a post to say I've arrived. My ipad, however, seems to be the most useless piece of equipment - I really hate it. It won't even load the iBooks I downloaded, so............ WOW. Not impressed at all.
A quick and GIANT thank you to everyone who is excited for me and who have sent notes. There's so many of you - Forum people, friends, family, workmates......Not everyone posts on here, but I've had loads of emails. You girls are all just.......amazing. Really, Really amazing. You give me courage when I have none of it myself. Thank you for having faith in me when I don't have it in myself. I'm not very brave, I'll tell you that. In fact, I'm a big giant chicken. LOL. Who's probably about to get herself killed - figuratively - on this grand adventure. Let's hope not.
So, rather than Belgium, as a sign off.......a little bit Canada, okay? I'm going to watch it when I get homesick. This is where I live. Its' my backyard. So for all you international reads - and I know there's lots! - this is what Calgary is.
I am CANadian. I can do it this. Maybe, maybe maybe.
See you all in Europe. Wow. Europe. WOW!
Big big big hugs! Five, four, three, two, one...............BLAST OFF
