Heading off

Tomorrow I leave for Thailand. I left from the United States to Thailand once before, and that was three years ago. I remember being much more apprehensive then. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into or what events would unfold.
Likewise, this time around, I don't know exactly what I am getting myself into or what events will unfold, but I can state with confidence that the apprehensiveness is near minimal. I am excited to the point of giddiness to be starting new adventures.
I can't say for sure what we will even be doing as volunteer work, but to be honest it does weigh heavily on my conscious. The simple fact of doing something new and beneficial and exciting is enough to satisfy any reservations.

I look forward to seeing you all when I return home. Until then, e-mail, calling cards, and letters will have to suffice as communication.

Drinks with former co-workers,


lunch with great friends from Thailand,


and dinner with a best bud to boot.


Good times!
