My Life is About to Peak

It's Christmas Day in Korea and I'm sitting in my PJs drinking hot chocolate and trying to work up the motivation to make some French toast.  I'm also starting to think about my packing list since I leave for Australia in 2 days!!! 

I've never been this excited for a trip before but I'm also feeling a bit anxious.  My life is about to peak.  No, really, it is!  You see, swimming with great white sharks has always always always been the #1 thing on my life's to-do list.  And I'm doing it.  In 8 days!  I'm beyond excited (and nervous!) about it, but I've also been having weird emotions about it too.  I really feel like there will never be another moment in my life as great as the first time I see a great white in the water.  That may sound silly, but I've really been mentally preparing myself for it.  This will be the greatest moment of my life.  I don't think anything else will ever come close to topping it.  I can't think of anything that I'll ever do again that will bring about the same feelings as this. 

I've actually talked to my dad about it a few times because it's a weird feeling, thinking that you are about to experience the best minute of your life.  And as always, my dad said the right thing.  "Think about how many people's lives never peak."  I feel very fortunate that I am doing something that I think will be the best thing I'll ever do in life.  A lot of people have big dreams.  "Someday I'm going to do ____".  But how many people are ever able to do it?  And here I am, about to fulfill my biggest dream.  Someone pinch me, this can't be happening!

New Blog, Old Blogger

I've created a new and improved blog. It's going to be different from the last one. The last one was used more as an outlet for my frustrations and it got to be a bit personal to share. So this one will ONLY be about my travels and adventures. Nothing more, nothing less. I'll be updating very soon as my Australian Odyssey is just days away.
