Thanks for all the well-wishes - it did turn out to be a lovely trip.

Back at the airport on company wide wifi again =)

Finally a moment to think. I was so frustrated during this trip, but it ended up being wonderful. Eko and I had a bit of an all night talk to straighten things out and you know that always makes for a better friendship. I realized that my stress vibes can cripple people into not making any decisions for fear of making me angry. I can’t wait to travel with Eko again whenever that may be and if she lets me. We even have these gorgeous matching American-Indian earrings now =)

I'm back in LA much better rested and very joyful. Traveling may not always bring out the best in me, but it's so inspiring that it's hard not to have a better attitude about everything upon return. Being away from LA my mind was free to wander wherever it wanted, and you know where it decided to wander? I couldn't stop thinking about visiting Africa again and joining the sectors that help out. I am completely committed to following my dreams of helping developing countries, it's very clear now.
