I’m sitting in the Dubai airport right now, eating a DQ Blizzard and watching planes taxi by as I wait for my gate to open up. It’s so strange, I raced around today trying to make sure that I got everything ready to leave, and guess what? I actually did it. It went so smooth that I keep feeling that I’ve forgotten something. It’s been nagging at me for a couple of hours now, but for the life of me, I don’t have a clue what I could have forgotten. It started about an hour before I left the apartment, and I’ve done every checklist in my head that I can think of. I guess I’ll figure it out eventually.

The plane takes off in about an hour an a half for Karachi and then heads to Kuala Lumpur. I’m kind of looking forward to the stops since it will be the first time I’ve been in either of those countries. So far I’m kind of watching myself “third-person” if you know what I mean. It’s almost like I’m not really leaving… or maybe it’s just that it hasn’t sunk in yet that I am leaving. Whatever the case, it seems somewhat surreal.

So the writing isn’t flowing right now… just in case you didn’t realize it. :) It’s going to take me some time to wind down after running all over the place today. Once I do, I’m sure that my writing will make more sense.
