I just spent the last few hours putting the last 6 months of my life into 2 suitcases and a backpack.
I look into my closet, now empty save for the clothing I plan to wear during my 24-odd hours of traveling.
It's sad looking around my empty room, the place that has been my home for the last 6 months. I felt the same way the last time I looked at my flat before I left to come here.
sigh.
It's going to be lonely when I get back. My apartment has no food, no clutter, no pets, no people, no life in it. I've been coming home to a family and a cat and the best dog ever every day, and will miss them dearly.
At the same time, I can't wait to get back to my friends, to share our stories from our time apart. It will be so much fun. I anticipate that I will be doing much hugging and crying in the next few days. At the moment, the hugs and tears are from the good-byes, and I know that they will turn to hugs hello and tears of joy.
the travel plans:
1. 14 hour flight from Melbourne to LA
2. 5 hour layover in LA, to get through customs and all that jazz.
3. 5 and a half hour flight from LA to Newark.
Total time: 24 and 1/2 hours
Total distance: 10,457 miles
See ya when I get back to my homeland.

You won't be alone, don't talk like that. We'll all be around to keep you company still. :D
