When booking our tickets about 8 months ago, it kinda never felt like it would actually happen.
"Yeah sure, let's do the thing!" (meanwhile thinking 'pft, that's so far away, there's a good chance I could be dead by then it's so damn far away). But alas, it's happening. Right now.
My pack is packed, and I'll slide into the backseat of an Uber with Victoria tomorrow morning headed for the airport. It's the first time I've traveled anywhere with anyone but Isaac. It will be a different experience, for sure. Travelling can make you stressed, tired, lost, frustrated, hungry...and when you're with your partner you can (well maybe you shouldn't but you do) let your moods leak out onto them and they support you. But you can't (or shouldn't) do that with others. Your moods aren't their responsibility. That's not fair to dump that on them; they didn't sign up for anything but a drinking buddy!
But I think we'll be ok. Ol Victoria and I have been friends for longer than Isaac and I have been together. It's gotta be around 23 years now that we've known each other. I think we're ready to take the plunge and go on a holiday together.
We might even take it to the next level and do an Onsen together *gasp! Scandal!* I know. Filthy. Can't wait.
