Back in the Water

"There is no end to the adventures we can have if we only seek them with our eyes open."
-Jawaharial Nehru

So here we go again:
Yesterday morning my flight left for Halifax. If you don't know where it's located, you can ask Jeff Healy or Tyler Harnett- they know for sure and are super smart and wonderful for taking me to the airport :)

Basic agenda:
May 25-June 1: Halifax and Cape Breton
June 1st: Chillin again in Newark, the airport that has absolutely no readily available working electrical outlets.
June 2nd-June 5: Hanging with Amanda and Ronja in Stuttgart, Germany
June 5-August 5: V Slovenijo bom

I thought about renaming the blog, seeing as this situation no longer feels like an "Emergency". However, "This is a regular swimming situation" did not sound nearly as neat, and could potentially be misleading. "This is not a swimming situation" would not be true, and "Want to go swimming?" sounds like an offer that I am going to try to refuse, if strangers ask me (even though my father has a very specific set of skills).

But when it all comes down to it, I just really like the original name... plus it covers all bases (...and I don't really know how to change the name), even though it feels more like a snorkeling trip. I'm returning to places and people that I have already began to know, but want to see more clearly- learn again, explore...

In a lot of ways, this seems less risky, but in many ways is even more so. I'm trying to go without expectations... recognizing that things change in a year... like me, for example.
I guess we'll see, eh?
