All My Bags Are Packed. I’m Ready to Go. But How to Say Goodbye?

This is the very definition of bittersweet, at least when it comes to travel

Hello Globetrotting friends! How are you? I’ve missed you! Sorry for my absence. Was a bit under the weather for a while… you can read about why here:

Just How Close Did I Come to Dying?

Yesterday I arrived back in Orlando, Florida after spending a year and a few months in Trinidad & Tobago.

It’s so great to be home after so long… I mean SO GREAT!! Feels more like I’ve been gone for a decade or something maybe.

Leaving Trinidad was pretty heartbreaking in a lot of ways. Feeling a bit guilty now for anything bad I ever said. I mean, a water shortage here, a power outage there — small stupid junk really.
