Today marks my 500th day away from home and my 500th day in Asia! Its been a roller coaster of a ride and I have grown and experienced so much within the past 500 days and feel like I'll be leaving Thailand as a new and improved version of myself. I only have 45 days left and I could go on and on about how much I'm going to miss beautiful Thailand, my kids, Thai food, Thai islands, the baht, traveling, and so much about my life here. As excited as I am for my visit home to see friends, family, and eat In N Out and Mexican food, I am oddly anxious and stressed about returning to America and experiencing culture shock. At times the thought is so extremely overwhelming that I can't picture myself actually getting on the airplane! Don't worry America, I'm sure I'll get on it. I'm trying to remind myself that leaving Thailand means I'm starting a whole new adventure and I'm SO stoked for Australia and to start a new chapter in my life! When expressing my mixed feelings about leaving, a friend asked me "who says you can't go back?!". Australia is fairly close, I know I'll be back to Thailand someday. :)
