The last night

Tomorrow is the day! I can't believe it's finally here. The countdown used to be in triple digits but now it's just down to hours. Looking back over the past yr or so it is amazing to me to see what awesome parents I was blessed with. They always told me I could be or do anything and when I decided to do this huge crazy trip all they did was help me accomplish this goal. When I had the second job and thought I couldn't handle the no sleep no time no life no fun they were there to help me see the bigger picture. I feel like most parents tell their kids they can do anything but I wonder how many help them achieve those goals.

Im so sad that this is the last night in my room with my shower and amazing bed and ac and it's just me and little man. I hate that I won't get to snuggle with him for a while. I'm so worried he will think I've abandoned him. I can just hear dads voice saying "He's JUST a DOG!!!" but still, he's like my child. Oh his hair is growing back darker so he doesn't look quite so weird anymore.

I have 3 hostels booked for after the cruise so I am excited to see how they compare to the ones in Australia. Except I'll be alone and not with a group. I'm not so much scared of people trying to pickpocket and do dumb things like that. I'd almost welcome the chance to use my krav skills, but I'm scared of the worse things that could happen. Like the taken situations. Not that I'll be in that situation bc i'd like to think I won't tell random strangers "why yes I AM all alone how nice of you to ask let me tell you where I am staying" which is why i think I'll be staying away from bars!! Plus if I avoid those I'll have money to stay longer. Also it's not like Greenville where I could just leave the bar at 2am and walk home. Man I do miss that.

I'm so excited for all of the things I will see and learn in the next few months and I hope so much that I'll be a better person for it and also maybe figure out my life for when I come home. I'm especially excited to see if I can find the loch ness monster! It's like Santa Claus, you know it's not real but it's still sooo fun to believe in.
