Seven Days and counting to Costa Rica

Idream Now has been recently upgraded to http://idreamnowtravelblog.com/

Seven Days and counting to Costa Rica…I can feel the fear setting in a little more each day: a little hint of the unknown before me.  With every journey to a new unknown place; you must realise one thing.  Something that is scary to most people.  When you leave, everything around you is going to be very different: and when you return, nothing will ever be the same again.  The journey will force you to change by challenging you each step of the way.  It will unveil your true character, because that is all that you will be left with on the road.  Your true self. I leave in 7 days for a month in Costa Rica.  I should probably make a list of the all the things I need to get done before I leave; but that isn’t my style.  I’m a fly by the seat of my pants type of traveler, allowing a mixtures of spontaneity and fate to guide me.   Give me any starting point in the world and I will inevitably end up where I need to be at the precise time I need to be there.  True, your probably thinking bullshit because that would be impossible.  Impossible for only those who plan to arrive somewhere on their trip.  For me, it’s not an arrival or a departure; it’s a journey.  The only time and place I need to be is here and now with the road least traveled before me.  To be a free soul on the open road living only for the present moment.  Stay tuned for upcoming stories from the Costa Rica Trail….  

The road least traveled

“All I could think of was that in two days, I was going to relive, here in the latter part of the twentieth century, something of the great human adventure that had brought Ulysses from Troy, that had been part of Don Quixote’s experience, that had led Dante and Orpheus into hell, and that had directed Columbus to the Americas: the adventure of traveling toward the unknown. ”

Coelho   The Pilgrimage  p.14

10 Days and counting until I will be traveling towards the unknown.  It has been 7 years since my last journey.  7 whole years….. Wow.  My last backpacking adventure took me from England to Athens.  It was the most magical journey of my life.  My soul grew and I realised that it was my dream to become a writer.   When I reflect upon my trips backpacking across Europe; it is the feeling of absolute freedom that I remember most.  All the weight that the world has ever put on you leaves and this sense of oneness with everything sinks in.  The world becomes this grand and vast feast for you to enjoy!    

 I have been scrambling around all day to get my license renewed and a new passport.  With only 9 days left it will be a tight squeeze.  I have yet to book a place to stay in Costa Rica or even a ride to the airport, which is 3 hours away in Seattle. I lost my last true backpack  for traveling; so I will have to buy another.  Oh, and I need to find someone to watch Alchemy my Cat while I’m gone.  So maybe I should get moving and quit writing….For now of course….Cheers
