So here we are, for those still reading [mam and dad... :-) ], the final installment of the more recently sporadic blog. And this one is not really about what I'm doing as much as a reflection on the past 11 months, and partially also a pre-Christmas plea!!! (to follow)
I really hope everyone gets a chance to travel sometime!! We've kept mostly to the beaten track, it's designed to be like that. But occasionally you get just enough off it to get a glimpse beyond the tourist sanitization screen. The extra effort that separates what tourists on holiday want to see, from seeing how people really live. It's been an amazing adventure and we're privileged to have had the choice to contemplate it and the money to see it through.
It's been a real eye-opener, a snapshot of how some people live, and a sobering realization of just how lucky I am to be me and not them!
It's made me want to give something back and I hope I don't forget it when I get home and fall asleep to the world again. There's more to life than our everyday worries. And it's an amazing world out there, so open your mind and get out there!!! :-)
Happy Christmas everyone, hope to see as many of you as possible over the hols!!! Only 2 weeks to Christmas!!! Thanks for reading and, not for my sake, please read the REAL last blog.
