On My Way Back Home

I'm in Atlanta. I have a caramel machiato (sp?) from Starbucks and am using a faster internet access than I've seen in 6 months. I'm on my way back home.

I still want to call all older black women "mum" or "mummy" and all women my age or younger "sissy". Maybe one day I will purge these South Africanisms, but for now, I need to keep some connection to the life that I so desperately loved.

I had a typical Sunday lunch at News Cafe with Dizzy, Rowena and Roy, Ray, Charity, James and Leila, and Cara. So, the people weren't usual, but the place and experience were. I was sad to leave (I have a second life in Joburg), but the people who stuck with me throughout the experience will be with me whether I am there or here.

For now, I'm excited about seeing everyone back home. I excited about the cold, the snow (is there snow?). I'm excited to see Mom and Dad at the airport and hang out with Mike at home. I'm excited to be Canada Jan for a while.

In the not too distant future, I'm excited about visits from Diz and Batman. And eventually Rae and Leila (Yup, it's expected now. SAVE!!). :)

Thanks everyone in Joburg, for your love and support. And for tons of great memories. I will have to come back to dive, if nothing else. ;)

To everyone back home, I will be there soon! Can't wait to start a new life, once again, and see where the wind takes me.

I'M GOING HOME!!!
(Moz was great!!! Will post some pics and details soon. I dove with sharks.)
