Strange.
Considering I set off on a six month adventure nearly a year-and-a-half ago.. I have not thought much about it until recently.
But, hey! I've got a lot going on!!...
But in the last couple of weeks I have got to thinking 'what I was doing this time last year' and I now carry a portion of my RTWStrongie spreadsheet in my wallet.
This time last year I as in awful Venice Beach... Amazing to think!
For me: the world has changed a little; I know much more. I know about Russia (go Pussy Riot!!) and China and the Far East. Just a bit. And the USA, just a bit. And I follow world news with more understanding. And I have a bit of closure; I did that!! There is some sense of achievement too. Little me!!
A year later. I'm very happily living with a lovely lady. Our relationship is still fresh and wonderful. And I am constantly amazed that after 16 years of being alone that it can have happened to me.
And back to work. And that is crap... but... well... it's ok.
But. Being back at work means I am saving again.
And Cambodia and Thailand; Canada and Alaska call me.
Can a sixty year old still stay in youth hostels? Maybe. Can I still contemplate FarEast travel with my arachnaphobia... I survived flying cockroaches in Mongolia... (shit!! I've been to Mongolia!!! Wow!)
But I do not want to leave my Wendy alone for what might be a month..
I have not got the travel bug out of my system. Ever dreamer me.
