Oh goodness, it has been a loooong time since I have last posted anything. Where did the time go? Oh right, to school and work and other obligations. Well, since I have last posted quite a bit has happened. Two more sponsors have generously donated to my trip, so a big thank you to:
Mr. Scott Baslee
Mr. John Papa
Your donations are greatly appreciated.
Also, some plans have changed due to lack of available funding. Sadly, I could not raise enough money in time to book the cheaper round trip flight to and from Cambodia. Instead, I have decided to go with the next least expensive option and book two one-way tickets from Colorado to Cambodia and then from Cambodia to Arizona.
While I will still be working on getting money for a return flight from Cambodia over the next few days to few weeks, I have officially booked my flight to get to Cambodia!
I'll say it once more for effect: I have a flight to Cambodia, it's booked and paid for, and I will finally be there in a short 35 days!!!!!!!
I will admit, at this point I am starting to get a little impatient, but I just need to focus on school and work and making sure I have everything I need for the next few weeks and it will be time to go before I know it.
So, here's a metaphorical "cheers" to hard work, dedication from friends and family, and rolling with the punches. We're almost there and even though the last few weeks have been stressful (dang airlines increasing prices!) and the next few might be even more so, I know it is going to be so very worth it to get to have and share this experience with all of you.
Finally, I will leave you lovely people with a TEDx video that has, I feel, a lot of relevance to me right now, and can have a positive influence on all of us at any time. Check it out, and if you don't have time to watch the full video, at least watch the first 5 minutes. Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8CA0BLub44
