Now,
I have spent almost two weeks home- though, it feels like no time at all. After more than three months at sea, I have been very grateful towards the amenities of home- personal bedrooms, bathrooms and mum’s homecooked meals. Being home has involved a whirl wind of family, friends, and lots and lots of hiking.
Though it has been incredible to visit loved ones, walk the local trolley tracks behind my house and go camping, much of my time at home has dealt with my preparation for Bermuda. I will spend three months total in Bermuda, and because it is not attached to the mainland like Louisiana, I must pack sufficiently and fully. In classic Amanda fashion, I was adding last minute items the night before. My most beloved items- aside from sunblock- is my ukulele and journal.
Of course, I did not forget the important ammenities- which is heavily, heavily packed- paperwork included. The idea is to last three months, if need be, from all my packed goods.
My flight has been pushed back a day and I will leave tomorrow. I am full of awe, adventure, meloncholy, and gratefulness for my adventure.
– Until Bermuda!
