"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain
This time next week I'll probably be having a nervous breakdown with only 12 hours before my objective really starts to become reality. Planning has taken awhile but with great support from Aussie & Nepali friends, its actually happening.
I keep thinking of what my Mum would be saying & can see her smile quite clearly. She'd be soooo envious and happy and proud! God, I miss her at times like this!
Now to the packing and decisions that accompany that task - especially when the trip isn't only for the usual few weeks. Questions, questions.... What can I NOT do without for 12 months? Will I be able to get....?(an endless list) Now, where did I put...? (another endless list) How many more lists can I write before I become totally confused? What will my first days alone in Ilam be like? etc etc etc
Strange how it's all about me now but in about 8 days time it will be all about others - which is what this adventure is all about. Away from the safe harbor of home, family & Aussie friends to the unknown waters & Nepali friends...
Now...back to the decision making ....
