Well, this time next week, I’ll be on an airplane flying over either Canada or the Pacific Ocean. I’m finalizing my packing lists, but I’m starting to get preparation jitters. There are a few things I still need to pick up before I leave; maybe a few pairs of socks, some geotags, just in case I run across some geocaches in Taiwan, maybe some toiletry supplies. As a novice traveler, I’m definitely getting excited and nervous at the same time. I’m not only nervous about traveling, but also being away from my home and my wife. I’m sure things will be fine here, but it’s hard not to worry. Three weeks is a long time to be away from the things you love. The point is made more urgent since I’ll be away in a transition season. I’m trying to make sure that everything around the house is taken care of before I leave so that my wife won’t have to worry about it. Landscaping needs to be tended to, furnaces and basement sumps checked for functionality. There are little things that run behind the scenes that others might not know about. I would hate for things to go wrong with them when I’m gone. These are all things that I’ll have a hard time forgetting when I’m away.
