I'm packed up and, ready to go
just a few more socks, in my bag
I'll throw

a few more loose ends to tie up here
3 more days and I'll be there
leaving this life, in the city of my birth

another land
another country
another language

a far off place
over 5,000 miles away
from my nearest friend or family

Just 2 bags
one with warm dry clothes
another containing the tools of my trade

2 cameras
a computer
notebook and pens

foreign phrase books
maps
and my papers

nothing more
to start a new life
out in the cold cold

of the former Soviet Union
a new life
a new way of living

so much to learn
so much to teach
so much to love

Have knowledge, will travel...

This reminded me of the best days of my younger years, when I would pack up a bag in Europe and move from one "Monkey's Club" to the next trying to see the world I was...and never finished.

If this is your fate, enjoy every second of the culture, food, and the people. It is experiences like these that make us more accepting of our fellow man eventually later on in life.

Well done.
