25 January 2006 - a sprinkling of unconventionality
Lynne says...
The trip is fast approaching and I'm still more nervous than Matt. Crazy really, considering it was my idea in the first place and it's taken over two years to get to this point.
Perhaps it's something to do with giving up my job for a second time to go travelling; the sensible side of me is screaming, "what the heck are you doing, you're 31 years old and should be settling down and having babies". Bugger that. Life is surrounded by convention; convention, along with fear, stops people doing what they really want to do. I'm going to add a sprinkling of unconventionality to the mix, disregard my fears and wait and see what happens as a result. As those around me will agree, I have an infrequent tendency to throw caution to the wind and take the difficult path when the easy one is right in front of me. It must be in my genes.
