A year and a week ago, I was a first-time bum. I started a blog that was meant to last. Fortunately, it didn't! If you want to read my short-lived bum diaries, go to bum-diaries.blogspot.com. :-) I've since moved on and am now 9,000++ miles away from home. Traveling the thousands of miles, though, didn't come easy. Why would it, when my itinerary looked like this:
Manila > Los Angeles > Miami > Grand Cayman (some work and play for 7 days) > Miami (overnight shopping) > Bermuda! ------- 30 combined solid hours in the air, seven different seatmates, big pain in the a** (of course, I mean it literally). Needless to say, I am thankful. Always thankful. After all, I arrived safe and sound.
I am writing this now, one week after arriving in the beautiful island of Bermuda, where I will spend my next 24 months, (at least). I am slowly settling in--- toured the city, got a local phone, went grocery shopping, even watched a movie! It's a beautiful island, where the locals are warm and inviting. Looks like I will fit in. :D (crossing my fingers!)
Looks like I am in for an adventure....exactly the reason why I went here. But no adventure is fun without loved ones to share them with. Hence, this blog. This is one of the ways I thought of so I can remain connected to the people who matter most to me --- you. Join me in my future successes and missteps, and help me forget that I'm a long way from home.
Much love,
Lei/Honey
