Time to set sail.....

September 5th. September 5th? SEPTEMBER 5TH????!!!!

Was given two weeks notice that I ship out on September 5th on Friday, couldnt stop smiling for atleast 24 hours! Am freaking out just a little bit. Have started going through all my belongings, having a yard sale on Saturday, trying to see as many ppl as I can before I go...its sooo intense. I am really excited/nervous/uncertain and other emotions I cant even begin to name.

What in the world do I pack to take with me for 6 months?

Am beginning training on the Sapphire Princess, and possibly staying on that ship once training is done...it's itinerary? Hawaii, Australia and Tahiti...ummm...amazing!

To wrap your life up in just a few weeks is something else, thats for sure. Looking through old photos, reading old love letters, sorting clothes and shoes (again)...what do you keep? Who do you stay in touch with, who do you spend more time with to ensure they dont forget you while you are gone (yes, I've begun the sappy stage now).

Cant believe its finally here. To have sent my resume originally back in February just seems unreal...certain people have been amazing with pushing me towards this reality, you know who you are, and I am forever greatful - for this and so many other life changing things that you have helped with...in my heart forever xo.

Well..another day...hope to catch some of you before I go...those of you in Ontario, see you in 6-8 months :)

Ciao,
Carebear.
