Traveling

Peru.

It's here. We're leaving for the airport in less than 2 hours. Yea!

I'm excited for my mom. She is fulfilling a dream by going on this trip. Kind of cool to get to witness someone fulfill a dream. How often does that really happen?

As excited as I am, a part of me is also a little apprehensive. I feel like travel changes the traveler. When I return, I won't be the same person that is writing this. That person is leaving today to be replaced by the one that returns. The thought makes me a little sad. I like this me. Hopefully the one that returns will only improve on the theme.

I'm calm. I'm chill. That's been my state for a few months now and luckily, it hasn't abandoned me today. I'm looking forward to the adventure and glad to have Mom traveling along with me.
