(with thanks to David for this title!)
In 12 hours or so, I’ll be boarding the first leg of my trip – Hilo to Honolulu for a 50-minute flight. That sounds pretty easy-peasy and fun to travel there with Bear!
Then it’s onto Tokyo in 9 1/2 hours — oohhh, I’ll be looking for that ambien and an open row; and finally 7 hours and 10 minutes to Bangkok – yikes! Getting into Bangkok late at night and meeting Bear to traipse off to our Bangkok hotel! Perhaps by the morning light of day, I’ll be more that only bleary-eyed and able to recognize that the lists are done and I’ve arrived!
It’s a very early morning tomorrow, so I headed to bed soon with Makana & Pono – perhaps there’ll be some other names to add to this list in the coming days/weeks/months – I’m open and available, that’s for sure!
And so, so grateful – aware in the quietude of this evening how very fortunate I am to have this ability – to travel so freely and unencumbered – to seek out adventure and vision and divine inspiration (amongst so many other things!) – to recognize that the moment is now to live my ideal life!
Ohyeah – and I’ve got my E-ticket in hand and breathing ever so relieved!
The hair is way darker than I expected, but I guess that goes with it being way shorter than expected! It’ll lighten and it will grow!
But I’m most pleased with the choice of toe nail polish!
And the bags are fully packed and ready to go:

This is all I need for 5 months in SouthEast Asia! Thanks again, Donna, for helping me eliminate all that unnecessary, extra stuff! And the Kindle, ohmigod, the Kindle is gonna be great!
I am ready, so ready, for my amazement to be amazed!
Off to bed with this pilgrim – the journey is an early one!
Hooray! Bon voyage!!!
Mahalo nui loa!
We all wanted a picture of the hair!!
I’m with Jane…but LOVE the toenails. By now, you’re probably closing in on Bangkok.
Lots of love, dear!
Patience, my dears … just think of me with black hair!! xoxo
