Preparations

Two weeks from today I will be on a plane headed to Atlanta, GA to Paris, France to Cairo, Egypt to Luxor, Egypt. From there I'll begin a two month adventure through all sorts of cultures and countries. As I look across my room at a half packed back pack, I wonder just what I'm getting myself into.
Interestingly (though not surprisingly to those who know me), this is a rather familiar thought. It ran through my mind when I was lost in the rice fields of Thailand, when I got hailed on during river guide training, when I nearly flipped in the first rapid of the Grand Canyon, when I took care of my first patient at Parkland.
I have this habit of jumping into things feet first and figuring the rest out as I go. So I cannot help but wonder what is to come in the next few months. Where will the path lead this time? And am I ready?
I guess there's no better way to find out than to jump.
