i'm actually off

in 3 hours and 14 minutes a car arrives to take me away.
me and the man known as whackwit are actually going. actually, really, within a very short time.

we've packed, we've considered unpacking and re-packing, we've phoned nearly everyone we should've, we've attempted to mentally prepare ourselves.
it doesn't all feel quite 'complete' but yet, it's happening.

i remember when i first posted about the trip. an automatic countdown clock said 280 days. 280 solid days beating a steady powerful drum. now the seconds have become mighty and tick tock with an adrenalin heartbeat.

it's too much to write in depth now. i will be writing with pen and paper over the course of the next 4 weeks and will transfer the words to this blog when i get back.

in the meantime, we will be trying to get ourselves to internet cafes while we are away and - while it will be as sporadic as a laptop in a desert - you may be able to follow some of our movements.

until next time,
agape to you all
