It's a very strange feeling I'm experiencing . . . [View all]

. . . I am all set to leave the country for a month on Friday (traveling with my sister to Australia to visit a dear family friend). It's a trip I've wanted to do for years. And yet it feels so very strange to be leaving the country for a month having no idea what I will be returning to!
