I once read, in a Tennessee Williams biography, that his motto was : " In the time of your life, live". I guess I must have taken this quote to heart because today, I'm finally off. And the most incredible feeling is to know that I will be able to look back upon all these moments and know that they will all be truly mine. What will the ship look like? How will I feel when I first set foot on foreign soil? The excitement is overwhelming but invigorating. I guess I should be sleeping right now, but the view of the perfectly turquoise sea bordering the snowy white sand beaches around the Florida keys are just too spectacular. Oh dear God! What have I gotten myself into???
