not all who wander are lost

I have the passports with the lovely zambia visas stamped inside of them.
I have the plane tickets.
I have the duffel bag ready to be filled.
I have the clothes set aside waiting to be packed.
I have an ipod ready to be topped off with a few more artists.
I have a hostel booked in London across the street from Hyde Park.
I have planned to do little else than wander through out the streets there.
I have 2 1/2 months to soak in Africa and enjoy the Tompkins family.


My doubts, fears, and hesitations have been washed away and replaced with sheer excitement for the upcoming months.

I stumbled upon a path in the underbrush and I'm taking it :)

September 9th - December 4th Jamie Cramer will be quite out of reach

Magnifique.


I'm going to miss my music when I go...
