Ok, so maybe I'm not going to be that far up, but close enough. Tomorrow I fly away to my new home known as Jomtien, but largely known as part of Pattaya, Thailand. My bags are all packed - amazingly enough my puzzle-piecing was much simpler than I expected. I only had to repack one bag once due to forgetting my makeup box - travesty that would have been to forget. My guitar has a nice hard case to protect it from the baggage handlers being too rough. I just hope it gets there in one piece.

Today was a good day. I feel a mixture of excitement and nostalgia and sadness. The tears dried up around 2:30, and since that time the only wetness on my face has been from rain. I've been thinking about what I'm leaving, but also about what I'm going back to. Mostly it's been what I'm leaving, though. I'm going to miss you... yeah, you.

Farewell, Bay Area. Take care of yourself.
