Six years ago today...almost to this very moment...I was jet sailing across the big pond, aka the Atlantic Ocean, embarking on my first international adventure. Oh the emotions, thoughts and feelings going into this day. I had dreamed of this day since I was a little girl and it was finally happening! I was beside myself. I literally felt like I was walking around like a zombie watching all this play out.
Six years ago today...my dad was sick to his stomach. He did not want me to go off by myself to some foreign country where I had no idea what they were saying. He did not want me to go by myself. Plain and simple...he did not want me to go. He was finally realizing his little girl was an adult and could do this by herself. Side note; I couldn't believe I was doing this by myself! It was a very maturing moment of my life.
Six years ago today...I was on my way to Paris, France!! A dream trip. A chance of a lifetime. An answered prayer. A change in my life. I remember so much about that trip. Things, even though six years later, are still so very vivid in my mind. I can still hear the sounds of music and numerous languages, smell the smells of the cafes and bistros, and close my eyes and walk down those streets in my mind. I can't remember what I did last week, but I can remember very specific details of my adventures in Paris. I can still talk for ever about it if anyone asks me :)
Six years ago today...began a passion in me I didn't know was there; one of history, art, culture and TRAVEL! Oh yes, this embedded in me a travel bug that runs so deep in my veins now!
So, I'm taken aback to six years ago today. So much going on in my life at that time. I had just graduated (finally) from college and as a reward I was going on a trip that had been a lifelong dream. I remember it all like it were yesterday! Sure wouldn't mind going back!
Thanks for letting me reminisce a little :)
Until next time . . .
