I’ve been a bad blogger. I have stories to tell, I promise but the fun days are moved in with ones of exhaustion and some confusion. The timeline is broken so I will have current stories mixed in with past memories 🙂

Current location: Sihanoukville, Cambodia.

Dear Singapore,

I don’t know where or how we went wrong but beautiful as you are, we just aren’t meant to be. Continue reading “Breaking up is Hard to Do” →

The length of time it took me to start panicking. I’m in halfway around the world from people who care. If something happens to me, who would care?

After 30 odd hours of flying and filing in and out of planes, losing expensive headsets and other electronics, forgetting towels and prescription drugs, and then doing way too much walking in the sun, I think I am losing it. 

Why is my hand tingly? Am I dehydrated?  Where is the nearest train station? 350km to the train station. Ok I can do that. 330 km. Wait, did that day 340 km. That’s not right. 370km. What?! No. I am just going to go around. 

Why does it take so long to download uber? 

Why does this shopping center have so many different entrances? I have to go back downstairs to cross the street? What does elegant casual mean? No reservation. Oops. 1 hour to eat? Sure but I really half an hour. No problem. Dear sushi, why can’t I finish you?

Oh room sweet room. Thank you for being clean. Oh bed. Maybe a little nap… No.. knowing me, I may not wake up. Where is the tour picking me up? I heard Orchard Parris Hotel. Did she mean Orchid Parade Hotel? Honestly if I miss the pickup, I don’t think I would me too upset. 

Can I sleep yet?

I think I am going to sleep in tomorrow..

3.5 hours to pickup.

It isn’t a secret. I am  traveling alone to many foreign lands. For some of them, I won’t know the language. This will be a test on how well I can manage on my own as well as to have fun and see other cultures. Mostly in the heat. 

Honestly I greatly appreciate everyone’s warm wishes regarding my health and safety as coming from a place where I am comfortable taking the T and walking around by myself, the thought that I can’t just go where I want at all hours of the night is concerning. I was also concerned about losing my phone and my purse. I think I have been careful but maybe the lack of sleep is getting to me as I have already lost my noise canceling headset. It was great as the engine noise just goes away and Falicia Dat was reading/acting out her memoirs so clearly. Amazing. 

I now face 12+ hours of engine. 

Bye bye magic earphones. You were great for the short time that I had you (T-T)

Umm.. Apparently my kindle 2. Great beginning to this trip

Update. Kindle found. Will be forwarded from Frankfort. No headphones.

It’s finally here! Woke up at 4 again to do some last minute paperwork and laundry.

And repacking. Osprey just didn’t make the cut. Hello Jansport. 

  
And one final trip to work. #AsthmaSuffererProblems

  

  
We are packed and ready to go. Ha. First time ever that I am ready to go before midnight and I am not running around like a chicken with its head cutoff.

N suggested that I get a leash for Audrina. That sounds so wrong but gee what if she runs away?!
