Tomorrow my journey to Turkey begins. I've been waiting for it so long that it hardly seems possible that I will finally get on a plane and start the long, long process of getting there.
Today was dedicated to packing. I got out my new bag and loaded it. I love that thing. It was some of the best money I've ever spent. While I was trying not to have to carry a rolling carry-on, I still have one for my camera gear and so forth. Everything else, and I do mean EVERYTHING else fit inside that new back and I'm almost ten pounds under the weight limit. It's surreal.
Every trip is the beginning of a new way of looking at the world. Every journey opens up a new perspective. I feel as if this one is going to truly momentous, though. Maybe it's because of how long it is. Maybe it's the distance I'm going. I don't know. It just feels like I'm on the edge of a big cliff waiting for the courage to leap. How thrilling.
