stop-over: Glasgow
Everyone smokes here!!
...ok, ok, that is a broad generalization.
I guess I am just used to being in a place where smoking in public is either illegal or seriously socially frowned upon. It is strange to see designated smoking areas in airports, and so many people smoking and walking down the street.
On a lighter (haha) note; bus drivers give change here. What a revelation. I think we should institute this back home. What is this 'exact change' shit, I mean really!!
The flight was too long. I would also like to see someone do something about this. I think we should have those planes in The Fifth Element, where they put you into boxes that make you go to sleep. That would be nice. Instead of this whole sitting in the isle seat next to someone you don't know (and therefore can not lean you head on their shoulder to sleep), so that your neck muscles hurt from trying to keep your head attached to your body during those few fleeting moments that you manage to be asleep over the 11 hours you are on the plane (stupid Calgary stop over).
Of course, we get here and it is an absolute hot sunny day. I am wandering around in shorts and a tank top. We are staying in this impossibly small hotel room. I think it is cute. Especially the REALLY RED hallway outside.
Tomorrow we are off to Skye. We are staying on an organic farm in the Waternish pennisula. Up early in the morning; train, bus, ferry, combination of them, who knows. I am feeling very free and open about it all. We'll get there, it will happen the way it is meant to happen (thanks Peter). I only feel slightly here, because all the differences so far are small and subtle (accents, smoking, computer keyboards). I think once I am out of the city it will change (all big cities are the same in many ways).
I really want to have a profound 'struck from on-high' expereince when I step onto Skye. Something exciting will happen....that is for sure.

Before the dawn
Well, here I am.
10:00 pm the night before I leave and I have managed to put one thing in my pack. My rain jacket...cause it rains a lot where I'm going.
I can not seem to get beyond that. I have spent the last few days intensely distracted in a way that will make this trip so much more magical. Though it has done nothing for the process of getting everything in that bag on my kitchen floor (well, perhaps there was a shoe consultation involved).
I still don't really believe that I an going (finally), but I feel like I have already left. I spent the last week at Firemaker, and it was a transformational and healing place for me. It always is, once I get there. This years gathering and the experiences I had there, are the perfect start to my journey. I am in a fabulous head space to do this trip. I have learned a lot of lessons from seeing the example of others this week. I feel blessed as I fall asleep in my bed for the last time in awhile....
Lets just hope I manage to put everything else into that pack before I leave!
