The Countdown Begins

What originally started as a short visit for Bryson, has exploded into a summer long adventure for me. I think I'm okay with that. 

Wine country...yum!

Bryson was really missing his friends and family in California. The hubby and I started discussing the idea of sending him to stay with friends and family during the summer. The airline companies, however, had the final say. And it wasn't good.


Because of his age, he would have to fly unattended and could only fly on a direct flight. Which is good, because he's been known to get lost on the trip from his room to the bathroom. But, there are NO direct flights from San Juan to San Francisco. 
                                                                       
So, the hubby suggested that, since I'm not  really working at the moment, I should take Bryson out to NorCal. After more discussion, a week or two turned into a month. 

So excited to see her smiling face!

At first, I didn't really want to go. Try to follow me here: I've gotten used to certain things in Puerto Rico. Such as no family, the language (I don't speak Spanish, but am able to communicate a bit.), the weather (as much as I can--it's hot and humid), the food (or lack of my faves, really). Going to California concerned me because I am afraid of making coming back more difficult. I'm thinking that I will miss people and places more when I come back.

But, after making plans and thinking about it, I'm ready, anxiety or not. I will embrace the challenge, live life to the fullest. Eat, laugh, cry and drive the whole month away. And throwing some camping in there for good measure.


So, the countdown begins. T minus 10 days. Ready or not Cali, here we come!
