Constant Wanderings: And now...

So, what now? I made it out, I'm away, I survived my final commitments to the world of my last year. I found a ride to Seattle with a friend from home, stopped in Boise, ID and Walla Walla, WA for some quick hellos and mini-adventures. I did it. I left. Now what?

Now, I guess, I start the adventure...

A little transition time has been good though. Getting to catch up with friends here in the Seattle area, being able to mentally re-arrange the grey matter in my skull and physically re-arrange the items in my backpack (yes, mom and dad, you will be receiving a package of items I left home with, but have already decided I can live without) has been- and will continue to be-a worthwhile venture. It, unfortunately, has been cloudy and rainy at least half of my stay here (Seattle is never one to disappoint) but what can you do. I have managed to see Phantom of the the Opera with a good friend, take a bike ride on a guitar purchasing mission, catch up on sleep, do some last minute shopping, explore Bainbridge Island, watch movies, get my salsa dance on, and mainly catch up with different friends and enjoy hearing about the various paths we are all cutting through life.

I have another 5 days here, and then am mini-road tripping with a college friend to visit a mutual friend in Eugene, OR. We plan to stop in Portland on the way back up and then I fly out of Seattle October 3, headed for Washington DC/Virginia. I am hoping to stay a month at a Integral Yoga community in central Virginia, but do not know if I have been accepted into the program yet. The thing is, airfare only gets more expensive, so I figured I might as well go, hope for the best, and figure I'll find a way to entertain myself back east for a month plus if that doesn't work out. I do have some family and college friends out there to say hello to, and I'm looking forward to visiting them. I'll be out east until the 22nd of November at which point I will head off to LA. Theoretically, from LA, I will fly immediately to New Zealand (I do not have a ticket purchased yet, but that is the plan). So, I guess that gets me on the road and a couple months down the way, let the adventure begin!
