5 days to go....

Today the "wanderlust" hit me with its full intensity... It started when i got ready this morning and so I've been enthusiastically preparing a few more things today I had to do before my departure. I just returned from having lunch in town and on my way all the excitement changed into a mixed feeling. I have to admit I'm feeling quite anxious at the time, but the more i analyze this feeling the more I see that there aren't founded reasons to feel like that. It's kind of the feeling when your in a rollercoaster and its going slowly to the peak before it speeds down. So I hope time will pass quickly "till my rollercoaster speeds down", i.e. when I'm finally on the airplane or even better when I'm finally there. Another thing that depresses me a bit at the time is knowing my family being at home and feeling very worried. I just spoke with them on the phone...... I'm determined to enjoy my holiday, will tell them about the great time I'm having but I feel like my families worries are going to be all present with me on my trip. I love them so much and don't want them to be worried. But then again it's been my dream to travel the middle east. I wish they could have seen the careful preparations, all the safety back-ups I've taken, the amount of information I've been collecting before I finally booked the flights... I invited myself some friends to my place for tonight just in order to distract myself from all those thoughts. Right now I wish some of my friends would come along with me on my trip... so my family would at least know that I'll be with a group of people all the time....
