I'm Nowhere Near Ready

I can't believe I fly to Scotland on Sunday. Honestly, the last 4 months, I have been a living testament to Murphy's law and that has robbed me of the joy I usually feel when getting ready to head home. 

Don't get me wrong. I am looking forward to going home, seeing family, meeting with the tour group in Orkney, visiting new places and spending time with friends and colleagues but the pre-trip hype, the excitement, the "ooooo, soon" is just not there. Maybe it will come as I start to put things into my case. Currently they are all stacked on my dresser. A hopeful sign. 

The two years of slumber seems to have taken the "oomph" out of me. I hope to get that back as I start to reconnect with my homeland and my heritage. 

Don't forget you can follow along through this blog. I will be posting daily so long as access to wifi is available.
