Today is the day I fly off and start my big ol' adventure around the world. The goodbye was as predicted, emotional, I feel like I dealt with it rather well even if others didn't.. yes mum that's you! Now I am sitting in departures kinda unsure as to what to do with myself. I'm walking around in circles not really paying attention to anything! I don't think it has sunk in yet that I am going halfway round the world on my tod yet!

But I am, so time to go board this plane then I guess..
