I took this photo of my two friends walking ahead of me somewhere in the landscape of Iceland. I loved the image. I wondered how long before they would disappear beyond the horizon.

So I have decided to relinquish my job post for the time being and return to the road. It was a tough decision to let go of a paycheck (once again) but I know this is the right path for me. There is still so much to see beyond the horizon. This summer I will be touring Europe. My two week trip has now turned into two months. I will continuously post my sightseeing adventures on this site. See you when I get back!

When I use to look at airplanes in the sky I was never the one that wanted to be in one. This was mostly due to my innate fear of flying. My fears were exacerbated after 9/11. I would be lying if all my travels have cured my fear of flying. It has not, I still feel anxiety right before take off and before landing. Nevertheless, now, whenever I see a blinking light moving slowly through the evening sky, my heart sinks and I wish that was me up there.

Speaking of night time, I'm feeling nostalgic tonight. I looked up at the sky this evening and noticed only a handful of stars gracing the dark canvas. How disappointing. My thoughts immediately went to the spring of 2005 when one evening I looked up and my heart wanted to explode with the thousands of stars that appeared close enough to pick off from the sky. I was in Cato Ridge, South Africa. I think life was much simpler back then.

I miss flying. I miss the beauty of Africa.

Okay, not my last.. but it might be awhile before I can "get away" like this without counting my vacation days. I will be rejoining the workforce society in a month. But before I return to the grind of making a living, I decided I will do some living On The Road before then. So my mission is as follows:

Length: 2 1/2 weeks

Places: Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Heidelberg, Trier, Prague, Paris, and Luxembourg.

I hope to visit all of these cities in my short time span. If not, I suppose I will just have to go back.
