Leaving Home Behind
May 30, 2007
Today is the day that I depart on my 4 1/2 month voyage to The New World. I have two main emotions inside me this day. Pure excitement and wonder of what I will encounter along with grief at leaving my home behind after just returning to it. I am hoping that the voyage will past by quickly and without incident.
But I know deep down inside that that will not be the case. This trip will be long and boring for a adventurous heart like mine, and the path is as long as the sea is wide so we are bound to run into some sort of trouble along the way. I will try and write as often as I can so until next time,
John Smith.
