So like I do every time I head out for some new destination I find a spot somewhere in the airport to write my thoughts before I board the plane. It’s becoming a tradition.

Right now it’s 930 and my flight leaves for Sri Lanka at 11 so I’ve got about a hour before they start boarding the plane. I can’t wait, it seems like a long time since I’ve been out of Dubai and to be honest the lack of traveling has been bringing me down more than I’d like to admit. This trip will be a little bit strange from my normal “backpacking” adventures, I don’t know if strange is the right word, maybe different is more accurate since I’m technically not going to Sri Lanka to sightsee, but to volunteer. I’m going with the same group that I went to Cameroon with last June… only this time I’m hoping that there won’t be any snags getting into the country like before.

Like I said in the beginning of this entry, it’s a tradition that I make my first entry of the actual trip here in the Dubai airport, but that still doesn’t give me a lot of things to talk about. In other words, I can’t think of anything to say right now, except to say that I looking forward to seeing Sri Lanka.

Like before, and I don’t know if I need to keep saying this, but I don’t expect there to be anyone reading my blog. It turned out that last summer, the last blog if you’re trying to keep them in order, a good friend in Texas didn’t even check up on me during the summer. So, if she isn’t reading it’s really doubtful that anyone else is either. Oh well.
