Travelling has always been one of my favorite hobbies. You absorb so much from where you are, meet different and interesting people. The smells, sounds, tastes and sights are a wonder. At the end of it all, you also challenge yourself as well. Stepping out of safety zones and relish the whole adventure, be it good or bad.

In about a week's time, we embark on another adventure as a couple. God is blessing us with another opportunity to experience all this together. I've also learned so much about Bryan and our relationship through our past teavels and I am looking forward to more.

The lessons that I am still learning is to let Bryan take the reigns. Yes, I have 10x more travelling experience, but I can be a bit head strong. God doesnt want me to be that way and, to be honest, I dont like me that way.

Then theres Dani, who we will miss terribly. 4 days is a long time. But I pray for God's love and protection on her as well as for us. Dreaming of the day when she can come with us and I can show her the things I've experienced when I was a child.

But in the meantime, I leave my little angel in Iloilo. Sigh!

Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. (Psalm 16:1 NIV)

Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not on them. (Job 21:9 NIV)
