I Miss You

... And wish you were here. LOVE.

Dear culture shock

Tears may flow and thoughts may be,
But look around. What do you see?
You may be feeling lonesome
But who lives here? Can you find someone?
All of these are new places,
But what survives here, among those faces?
Can you find a place to eat?
What is the weather?
Who will you meet?
What things have you never seen before?
Locals, tourists, maybe more.
Remember to be flexible, go with the flow and enjoy.
Everything will turn out 'right.
Go safe now sister, have a great flight.

Xxx LOVE

Oh the places you'll go.

Congratulations!
Today is your day,
You're off to Great Places,
You're off and away.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...

Melbourne, Australia --> Bangkok, Thailand.

Saying goodbye

A present.
Some hugs.
Tears and smiles.
Good wishes and excitement.
Love and fear.
Travel safe, travel well.
Learn, love and live.


Lots of love for your trip sister dearest xxx

Step One

The Beginning.
Georgie leading me confidently into sisterhood.
I am slowed by the air resistance factor of my pants, but get the hang of it eventually.
