Here’s a quick update for all of you who get worried if you don’t see one in more than 48 hours (there are a few of you) I just wanted to let y’all know that I’m back on Maui, safe and somewhat sound.
My arrival was made very positive by my beautiful fiance Julie who I got to spend the rest of the day with. Gosh I really missed her. I had gotten her a Nokia N76 as a gift while I was in Asia and gave it to her on the bus, she loved it.
I am currently in the process of selling/throwing away/giving away everything that is currently crammed into my soon-to-be-abandoned apartment. I knew it would be a bit of a crunch before I move out on the 30th, and it is. The days are going by very quickly and my window is closing.
Everything I actually care about is packed away in my backpack, carried with me everywhere, the rest of my place is a complete disaster.
My bed had bedbugs in it, so I’ve been sleeping in my tiny Chinook sleeping bag on the floor. This has been working surprisingly well.
So that’s the update. On the first I’ll be moving in with Julie and her mother for a month before the great San Diego/Los Angeles/San Francisco adventure begins.
I’ll post some more updates about all of THAT stuff in the next few days.
Is your fiance traveling with you for the rest of your journey? I imagine it would be hard to be away from her for such long periods at a time.
Regardless, much respect for actually doing this. I wish I could travel like th way you and Tynan do but I lack the funds and any kind of mobile skill that would enable me to do so. When I get my education degree I might look into teaching overseas though.
