let the voyage begin

Leaving Zanzibar by boat, waiting for the flight... this will take hours. Longer than before. First Amsterdam, then Seattle. I wonder who will I be next to now.. on the ship I already sat next this cute little boy who just wanted to sing.. he asked if I sang.. and told him I would hurt his ears.. so he just sung for the both of us. he was a kind spirit..
Leaving Sylvie and Ian was hard. I will miss them both terribly. they are good souls.
I woke today to rain.. I mean RAIN. like heavy drops that flood city type of rain. so what do we do.. we play in it. we walk around in flip flops and rolled up pants..armored with rain coats.. I feel like it is Seattle calling me home. I feel grateful. grateful for the experience.. for all of them. the kids hold up underneath an awning.. smiling and waving at us. kids in the middle of the street playing in the rain. letting go and getting wet. enjoying nature at her best. and what do I see... but a local.. wearing a Seattle Seahawk's hat.. like a lighthouse in the dark for me, letting me know.. you. reminding me of home.. letting this adventure begin anew. a new me. refreshed.

I arrive late on Monday.. so I won't be much active on responding for a bit. i work on Wednesday. I will need the time before work. to adjust back. just know I love you. I will want to see you. but I will need some time. understandable. be patient with me :) I love you.

I am excited. excited to be home. excited to go to work. excited to see all my friends. excited the most to see my family. We can meet a bunch of people.. we can even see have great adventures with them.. but the longest journey i will ever have .. will be with my family.

okay.. well I love you. and will see you soonish. till then.. have a blast. I can't wait to hear what you have been up to.

I LOVE YOU!
