A Travellerspoint blog

the ending of this ending

...and gearing up for the next beginning...

A bunch of "last"s lately: last night out in SF, last family dinner, last spin class. Last dinner tonight: sushi. I don't know how many Japanese Jews there are, opening restaurants in Israel, so I've got to get it in now. I've also been saying goodbyes, which is weird and I refuse to really go there.

I also did my last laundry. And oh my, what an experience. There was this old guy there, blasting his boom box, talking and muttering to himself. I tried just to avoid getting too close or making eye contact. And then, I noticed another man sleeping across several plastic chairs. All of a sudden he sits up, staggers over and starting down the aisle where I was loading my clothes with this crazy glazed-over look in his eyes. He stands there for a moment, stumbles back over to his stuff, puts a hat on, and staggers outside. Because really, it would be a shame for him to leave his hat behind.

So I think I'm going to actually fit everything into my bags!!! But now I'm paranoid that the airline will take one look at them and tell me that they're way to big to put on the plane. There's always something else to worry about, isn't there?

a little clarification

It has been brought to my attention that I might want to explain the picture below. This horse belongs to my cousin, on the kibbutz. His name (the horse's) is Albert. The hat belongs to my cousin, and it is the quintisential kibbutz hat. And this is "fun times" on the kibbutz. Are you feeling the pain yet?

In other news, I have started packing. Thank you.

T- minus 6 days

I am officially leaving in less than a week. I still have to sell the car though. And pack.

Here's the question, though: How do I pack my entire life when there's still time left before I leave? I find myself not wanting to start. And how the heck do I fit EVERYTHING into 2 bags???

Gearing up

I've been busy getting ready for my upcoming move - when I'm not in denial that I'm actually going, that is...

I'm starting this online thing to keep in contact with family & friends on your own time. I hope this works!
