coming home

I woke up this morning humming my all-time favourite travelling song: "Maybe tomorrow"... You know the song... Well, you should if you lived in Canada as a child and watched Canadian tv. (Littlest Hobo anyone?)

"Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on."

This has been my theme song for the last 9 weeks. I keep humming it as I leave every hotel / hostel (this is something Ryan and I do when we're travelling - we're cheesy that way I suppose.)

The last few days have been jammed packed with stuff. I have a few pictures which I will post when I get home and I'll write about our latest adventures at that point too.

It's pretty crazy to think that it's pretty much over. I feel like I haven't been away that long and that I could keep going, that I've somehow settled into the groove of things. I've had my share of homesickness and my cravings for home cooked meals but they usually pass when I realize where I am and where this trip has brought me. I wish I could just keep travelling... Ideally I could travel and still sleep in my own bed with my cats at my feet, waking up and having Niko come running to lick my face. (I swear I'm not a crazy cat lady! I'm actually allergic to my cats.)

We get on our 15 hour flight home in about 6 hours. It's pretty crazy that we leave here at 4:35pm on Tuesday (it's Tuesday morning here right now) and that we get home at 7:15pm on Tuesday night in Toronto. I still have a lot of Hong Kong I want to show Ryan - how is it that we haven't been to Graham street yet?! I also want to bring him to a temple right near our hotel. The clock is ticking! We're off!
