On the way to the Airport today, as I watched the mountains that I have looked at basically my entire life, I was graced with a moment of of almost pure panic.
Thankfully it was only a moment, but this definitely got me thinking. lets change subjects for a min.
Why do we as people resist change so much? I sorta pride myself on being able to be flexible and open to new experiences. however for some reason this trip seems strangely final. this really bothers me because of things I don't really understand.
I Grew up in Colorado until I was about 17 & 3/4 then I haven't bee back for about 7 years and now that I am more or less free to live where ever we want to and yet we are called to move away from everything that we really have ever known and loved to go to a place where we have never been and don't really care about.
What is it in us that resists change so much? even when we know that the change is probably for the better. I refuse to believe its the "routine of life" crap as I haven't really had a routine in Colorado since I was in puberty. but yet I miss it already.
So anyway we are cleared all the way to Auckland. I have all my tools packed and 3 more bags for us plus 2 carry on each. we found a loophole in the checked bag policy that says that as long as you have a military id and you are traveling internationally without orders, you can check up to 3 bag per person up to 70lbs apiece were not close to that but it helped alot. we will be buying certain things once we get down there.
As of right now my biggest concern is getting cheap reliable transportation for traveling the country and living out of for the next month or so. problem is we only really have about 2500 dollars to our name haha... oh God.
Well A320 sitting at gate B36a we have had this meeting coming for about 5 years now, its good to see you :-) I just wish I wasn't so sad to leave everything I love.
Ohhh! So exciting!
