This is a hard post to write, which is annoying because I have a feeling it’s the one people are waiting for. What are my first impressions of Bahrain? It’s hard because I can’t think of the right way to explain it so I’m having trouble figuring out how to write…
Prior to this trip, the farthest I’ve ever been from home was the Dominican Republic. Although the DR is another country, it’s actually really close to the States. So boarding the plane to London, then Bahrain, I knew I was about to go a long ways away… And it FELT a long ways away.
Because I’ve moved away from my home before, I know this part. The “what was I thinking?” And “who do I think I am” part and it’s officially hit me. Fast and not good. It started while I was packing my clothes, the last thing to do on my list before I moved out..
I keep waiting to get emotional. Nervous, doubtful, or of course sad. I’m usually a super emotional, always crying person as it is. I thought, ok when I buy the ticket it’ll be a for sure deal and I’ll get overwhelmed with emotions. Nope.
