The Last Great Ocean Road Trip

Well, legend has it that I’m leaving this place in 2 weeks from 2 days ago.  Ugh!  The idea has been confronting me since returning from my last Aussie trip with Raph.  He hooked us up with a sweet deal on the relocation of a camper van.  We drove it from Melbourne to Adelaide and basically only paid for gas.  I don’t know if they do car/camper relocations in the states, but it’s worth looking into.

I had a wonderful Rosh Hashana this past week.  First night was with Pup’s family, and then I was with Yehuda at the Chabad House for the rest of the holiday.  I feel more comfortable and part of the community there than I have at any other synagogue.   It’s great to have found that here too.

Thinking about leaving brings me back to the weeks leading up to college graduation.  I’m realizing I’ve enjoyed and flourished in this experience more than I was aware of.  There is a time and a place for everything, and while I’m confident in where I belong next year, that doesn’t make this separation easier.

May this new year be as fulfilling as last.  Shana Tova!
