After having a couple of beers with the guy's yesterday, Tried to go asleep at 23:30.
However I could not close an eye...

What have I done.....
Walked to the travel agency and out of the blue... without thinking booked a trip around the world!!!!

Ok.... now I'm realy nervous....
I was used traveling alone to projects all over the world.
However, Then I'm going with an cause... no I don't even know where or how I'm going to sleep, eat or what i'm going to do..

It's very stange to be traveling alone, not having anybody to talk with.....
Well, possibly I'll meet a lot of people this way...

My good friend Raymond picked me up at 07:00 this morning.
He was looking at me and said; What you'r going to do now is an ones in a life time upertunity..... Enjoy!!!
