*ducks fader*
<Crowd> Wooo-OOAH!! LIIIVING ON A PRAYEERR!!

Ahem. Yes.

I’m now half way through my Big Adventure!* In fact, as of today there’s exactly 5 months left.

Doesn’t really seem that long in some ways, but when I think about how long the past 5 months has been I guess it is, really. I guess that’s what happens when you spent time doing loads of cool stuff. I won’t bore you with yet another “Hey, wow, what a X months, I’ve seen so much etc etc” post because, well, you know the score already. Thus far, this trip has been the best thing I’ve done. The end.

I just hope that in 5 months’ time I don’t fall back into the old routines. I somewhat doubt that’ll happen though as I’ve realised that there’s more to life than that – and whilst money doesn’t grow on trees, there’s no reason to just accept a life that you’re not happy with just because it’s easy/low risk/”secure”/”the norm” etc.

Anyway, I’ll not preach (for now, at least).

Thanks to all of the people who I’ve met that have made this trip great. Thanks to those back at home who’ve supported me through this (family and friends). Here’s to another 5 months of fun – and to a great reunion when I get back home!

All the best,

Pat

* Well, technically this happened on Thursday – and I only just realised that later in the evening in time for a celebratory beer, sitting on a kerb outside Cable Beach Backpackers. What a way to celebrate, eh? :-)
