I have been negative in my past posts and for this I apologize. I’m done with that from here on in. I believe that negative energy and bad vibes will end up playing a big part in your daily activities. For example, have you ever been driving and thinking to yourself, “Man, I don’t want to get pulled over,” and sure enough, 5 minutes later a highway patrol pulls in behind you? That’s what I’m talking about. In my life I am always upbeat and positive — not blind to the everyday hazards of life — but I am for the most part a very happy man and I am going to continue on my journey.

I have had adverse things happen in my adventures, but I never let them get me down. I am no stranger to adversity, and I am not going to start letting negativity get the best of me now. I have gathered enough info to make my decision and I am diving right in. I have only been “wrong” once in that last 5 years and even then I wasn’t wrong. I was able to have an enjoyable experience and take part in a different culture and made friends I talk with to this day. I have friends all over the world and no matter what happens on this journey I am sure I will gain some useful knowledge and meet some interesting people along the path.

I sometimes forget the reason I started this whole travel thing in the first place…FREEDOM to go and do whatever I feel like doing when I wake up in the morning. I love the life that I lead and would not trade it in for anything. I will never forget the feeling I had when for 2 weeks in West Africa last year, I had been in the jungle sleeping under the stars, eating bananas from the trees, and the pineapples tasted like candy. OMG, it was wonderful. I ate fresh fish and rice. I took the walk that my ancestors took in the slave dungeons centuries ago, and at that very moment, I cried and thanked my Creator for the freedom I have today to travel and meet people and do whatever I want when I want and for giving me the knowledge to be able to take care of myself. I am truly free to roam. The world is my oyster and if the Seychelles isn’t to my liking, I will continue on and appreciate the memories of an already wonderful journey.

Thanks to all of you that have given us information and answered emails. You will not be forgotten and hopefully we can meet and have a couple of Sundowners and a few laughs.

Keep it Locked!
