The Next Adventure(s)

Less than a week left here at ol' Carnarvon. The thought of leaving is unreal, I haven't fallen in love with a place so much in my whole life. More on this later though because if I get into it now we'll all be crying and blubbering and I haven't even had to say goodbye yet.

This little post serves as a dual announcement!

The first is that I will be returning to America for most of December and January! The folks are living in Maryland now, but I've already been planning quite a few road trips around the East Coast and if I haven't talked to you already, please get in touch so we can hang out!  All this pending that I even make it with the wet season at Carnarvon (trapped in), snow storms in America (stuck out), and the line of questioning at customs regarding my whereabouts the last few years (held in secret location).

The second is that I will be returning to this side of the planet for the first few months of 2015! I've taken a new governess position with a family who own a plantation on Karkar Island, Papua New Guinea. It'll be hot, it'll be beautiful, and there is an active volcano so what can go wrong!?

After that plans are a bit...undetermined. But what have we learned this year? That's okay, the unexpected is often best.

Its actually quite funny, I'm more nervous about returning to the States than going to PNG. Its been...over 2 years since my last stint in the old mothercountry. And, well, I've changed. Its easy to go new places and have new experiences and become this beautiful new person when you're out in the world on your own.

But how do you take that person home?

I've got about 50 hours of travel in the next week, so I'll let you know if I come up with any answers.
