i was sad to have to say good-bye. but i knew from the minute i landed my time in fiji would be short. i was supposed to be on a 6 hour lay over and turned it into a mini vacation instead!
the night before i boarded my next star-ship, i sat up with the friends i had gained and enjoyed their company for hours. we made a pact to stay up until i had to leave at 5:30am, but failed miserably after too much kava drinking set us deep into the nights dreams. the stars were wild that night, shinning brighter than i could have ever remembered before. and a guy that had joined our group, world traveler himself, knew more about the constellations than google itself. he kept me entertained for what felt like a lifetime.
i loved that the people around me were so educated and knowledgeable on so many different levels. wether it was a conversation regarding politics, demographics, statistics, geography, extraterrestrial life…….everyone had something worth hearing to say. i could have listened to everyone speak for hours, wherein i usually find it rare for a person to hold my attention for more than a few moments.
when i said my good byes, i felt this over-whelming sadness rise in my gut. these people changed my life, touched my heart and i would probably never see them again. alexandra was like a long lost soulmate and i wondered if our paths would ever cross again......
hugs were given all around and "safe travels" said by one and all. we would all be leaving this place soon, everyone set to go on their next great adventure.
Next Stop - Sydney, Australia
