You may still be in the same town, but you have reached the station and boarded a train. Any moment now, it is going to pull out and start trundling down the track. Prepare for a new venture - and a new adventure, too. You are finally in a position to honour promises that you made to yourself long ago.A good friend of mine reminded me the other night that when I initially came down here, I was planning to relax for six months like a long term seasonal tourist. Unfortunately, that never happened since I started working a month later and now it is two years later! However, I now have the opportunity to do exactly what I set out to do in the very beginning and that's just what I plan to do.
Actually, I've been quite busy since I stopped working and wonder now how I ever managed to have a social life AND a full-time job. I remember my Mom telling me the same thing when she retired. Her life just kind of "filled up" with things to do. And before you ask, I am NOT sleeping in since it is virtually impossible to do so. The construction workers next door start every morning around 8:30AM which is when the sun peeks over the mountains. With the change in time this weekend, I am assuming they will be starting at 7:30AM next week which will be a good excuse for me to get up and out for a walk on the Malecon!

Ah, Juliana, it's so sad you are leaving and, also, if it's what you want, so good. I love your attitude, whatever that's worth.
