Leaving Australia

The dreadful morning finally came, way too quickly! I was forced to wake up early and feverishly finish squeezing 6 months of my life abroad into two suit cases that seemed to have shrunk. I had to leave behind a lot of my things, including my running sneakers, sweat pants, jacket and sweatshirt, oh well i'll get them eventually, reasons to come back right!?
Now the taxi was on its way to pick me and the girls up, and now i had to face the worst set of goodbyes ever. When leaving to come here it was hard to say goodbye to my family but i knew in 6 months i would see them again, now with these goodbyes to all my new Australian friends that I consider family, I am forced to say a goodbye without knowing if I will ever see them again. It was the most emotionally painful thing I have had to do, there wasn't a dry eye for the next hour. As the taxi pulled up I took one final look around my home away from home with the friends with silly accents that became family and said my last goodbye to my favorite place on earth...
