Sara is submitting some great notes on her trip to Australia, including dogs in myspace (how cool is that).
The pictures are excellent.

Sara is on her way

My princess left this afternoon on her long treck to Australia.

The little Princess Zoe (at the left) will keep us company.

I am numb- happy for her but feeling empty that she is nt around.



After preparing for this moment fo some time, it is now here and there is no lookforward for us. For her, it is the culmination of the plans and the start of the new chapter. All the fears that she had will dissapear with the reality of being there - and things that she did not consider will come up.


One day at a time....


We talked about expectations- how this was something that was going to be great. It will, but it will be only in the perspective of time. Rain will still fall and it will be cold and damp- those inconviniences will be forgotten with time and the great experiences and learnings will be the ones that, hopefully, will stay.


Well, she is on her way.

Sara is getting ready to leave

I am sooooo jealous- my daughter is going to Australia for a semester abroad.
I am sure she is nervous- it is a long way from home, they speak funny and it is different. But having the opportunity to explore, to discover and to grow trumps all the butterflies that she might have.
She has worked hard for this and deservers this, no questions asked. She has what it takes to make this a good experience
This is a chance of a lifetime and in the perspective of time this will be defined in her life as BA and AA (Before Australia and After Australia).
Have to take the second Princess for a walk.
