Going on a long trip to four different countries was truly a roller coaster experience. It was thrilling, exhausting and downright crazy.
I am a big fan of the Amazing Race and I've always wanted to do something like it. And there's no one else I could see myself on a trip like that but ETS. She's a quick thinker and very agile. She's Angelina Jolie, if only her lips were massively pouty, her eyes were a lot closer to each other, stood a few inches taller, had slimmer limbs, bigger boobs... LOL! In short, SHE'S THE MAN!
It was not initially the plan. All ETS wanted to see was Cambodia. Uma-Angelina, told ya! We ended up booking three countries more. All decided within minutes. We would have to leave our work behind for a long period of time that was months from then, but that did not even factor in.
We brought nothing but our backpacks, cash and a whole lot of guts!
We researched well and it paid off big time!
Worst fear: Be suspected as mules, be locked up in some seedy undisclosed location, get tortured, live to tell the tale, write a best selling book about it, become filthy rich.
Biggest lesson: Sometimes, we shouldn't fight fate. If something bad comes up, it might be the best thing that could happen. Just go with it. Let go and let God. During the entire trip, we were like led to the right places at the right time with the right people. Not a single unwanted glitch. Zero accident.
So, on our way to the airport early Sunday morning, we were both sad and happy. Sad that the adventure was over, happy to be home bound.
Now, that was a tough act to follow. Our problem is how do we outdo ourselves.
We came up with a plan: A couple of countries. Just belt bags. Just cash. Let's see what happens.
