meet me in Kathmandu

Aloha Oahu!

So I did it. All this mulling about on whether I want to go to Asia before going home or just go home has finally come to an end. There are a lot of things I miss about home that I really want to experience and enjoy again and a lot of people I want to see, and I wanted to be there for Aliza’s birthday. I already found a great cheap flight so I just took the plunge and hit purchase.

And I bought my ticket home.

Well to Seattle and home from there. It’s a bit of a shock. The thought of not being here. It’s like how can I not be in Australia? How can I live in Canada? All those thoughts of how I think I want to settle down and just live somewhere in my own house with a job and furniture and all my stuff – well maybe I’m not as ready for all that as I thought I was.

Not that going home was ever really going to be about settling down, but I did think about it. I just want all those great Canadian things that I love like Tim Hortons and New York Fries and Boston Pizza, Molson Canadian Beer seeing my friends and my family, snowboarding (although I honestly don’t know how I’ll survive in Canadian winter [if I even stay that long]), my movie collection… it’s going to be completely different from everything I have experienced this past year.  I’m going to miss my car and my job and the Sunshine Coast and the Sunshine and Ice Magic and double time pay on Sundays.

Also I’m stopping in Hawaii for a two week adventure – maybe I’ll get LOST in the bush. So Aloha. I think that means hello and goodbye in Hawaiian if I remember correctly, goodbye Australia and hello Hawaii and the rest of my life. But I still got three months to live the good life and I’m going to enjoy every second of it.
