Last day in a corporate wasteland

Friday, July 27th, 2007

It’s official, this is my last day of work at Grand European Tours! I got my desk completely cleaned out yesterday and am just going to finish up some tasks today and I’m officially retired (for a while anyway). It hasn’t really sunk in yet, and I’m sure it won’t until around Thursday next week when I STILL don’t have to get up to head for work.

We got our second series of JE shots yesterday and I’m feeling a bit off today.. I don’t think it mixed very well with the beer we had with friends last night:) Tonight we’re heading over to Dana and Dallas’ house forĀ  a little pre-party before our big going away part tomorrow night.We’ll post some pictures of the big event and then the countdown truly begins. 30 days exactly from today and the adventure begins.

There are going to be a lot of goodbyes in the next few weeks and I want to thank all of our friends and family in advance for being supportive even though some of them don’t truly understand what we think we’re doing. But, thanks for being there anyway!

The meaning of life.

I love a good quote or an email that makes me take a step back and remember what is important in life. I got 2 of them today. The first one was:

Live Simply. Love Generously. Share Deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the rest to God.

the 2nd I had gotten before but I’ve always enjoyed:

Life is Short. Break the Rules. Forgive Quickly. Kiss Slowly. Love Truly. Laugh Uncontrollobly. And never regret anything that made you smile.

That pretty much sums up why we’re embarking on this trip. To take advantage of what life has given us and living it to the fullest every day.

Shots shots and more shots!

Friday, July 20th, 2007
We went to the travel clinic yesterday and had high hopes for not having to get too many shots since we're already up to date on quite a few things. Boy were we wrong! We knew we both needed yellow fever ... [Continue reading this entry]
