Most people document their travels, "day one, flight landed
in London at 835am .. etc.."
I thought it might be a change of pace to
document the time leading up to it, the thought process, decision making and
development of ideas and knowledge about the different countries we plan to
visit, and then when we're there, how accurate our expectations actually
were.
So... Day 3. We'll call day one the day the decision was made,
otherwise it'd be about day 10.
Late on Friday night after a week of constant back and forth,
what's right for us, what's the better choice for us? We finally made our
decision and 3 days in we are still sticking to it.
Right before the decision was made I said to Adam "this is
getting a bit ridiculous, how about we dont talk about it for the next week,
how about who ever mentions anything to do with the f word, [FUTURE] before
next Wednesday loses."
You know how things go, under a bit of pressure and all the
answers are clear. When you flip a coin, the answer is clear to you before it lands.
Adam lost about 5 minutes later. We went to bed and kept talking
about it, all the what ifs we could imagine, all the things we'd been
working towards. And the answer was so clear. In situations like there,
sometimes it's easier to think about the opposite, what would I regret
more? And bingo, the question disappeared. There was only one answer.
Day 2 wasn't very interesting, Adam worked the day shift, and I
did the night lock up which meant that we had a kiss goodbye at 6:30am about 5
minutes to talk at 3pm and a kiss goodnight at 11pm.
Day 3, today.
Today was a little different a little better, we both did the day shift, so we could bounce a few ideas around, we haven't told anyone at work, we don't really want to talk about it yet. But just so you know...
We're going to Asia at the end of the year. For how long? Until the $ £ € ¥ dry up.

Works work you know, so I spent today on the beaches in Thailand,
maybe we'll go to a temple tomorrow.... 8 months til we head off
