Saying Goodbyes

Picture_034_1

This post could have been written more aptly by the Better Half, but since he is pulling an never done before feat by working till 3 hours before the plane takes off, I thought of lending a hand here.

Someone told me this morning that a month is too much time for a holiday – I don’t agree with him and am sure you would be on my side. It is NEVER too much time for a holiday – ever!

Going away for a month usually doesn’t warrant a fanfare of farewells. We spent the last weekend attending and hosting farewell parties, not to celebrate our travelling but to well wish the Better Half. After our holiday, I will return home while the Better Half will remain in Europe (some people are just more fortunate, thanks to their good karma) for an 16 months of full time study (even better karma!).

Someone once told me, “Bidding farewells to friends and possessions we have accummulated is never easy, but if we allow these difficulties tie us down, we will never be anywhere else but here.”

And we’re off in 48 hours….
