Traveling comes with excitement and disappointment. Not only on my position, but on the emotions of those who care. I'm currently at Virginia Beach. Let's begin with the weather. Last Sunday night, I marked the weather at 77 degrees on the weather website. At this point, I was in awesome-ville. In Atlanta, the weather clocked at 95 degrees, which would completely change when I get to Virginia. Could you believe that tropical weather is very unexpected. During the 3 of this 4 day trip, the weather is hitting near triple digits. Nearing the end of this 3rd day, why are there hurricane/storm warnings and people being asked to stay out of the outdoor AND indoor pool. Pretty crazy to experience a complete weather change. This is something we as Californians don't experience. Now, with my curtains open a bit, I see lightning, or as they call it, flash floods. Wow! About 10 ambulances and firetrucks to and from dinner. Geez! For the time being, it is a bit calm, but I'm leaving tomorrow, please let me head home.

It's been so many days since I saw my favorite. I miss her. I want to surround my arms around her and show her how much my heart adores her. Missing you makes me feel more compassion for you. But being away makes it hurt a little more. I can't wait to see you. I love you.

My trip ends tomorrow, only to look forward to another trip in the near future. Sigh, it's fun, but not that fun.
