Yesterday was the most emotional day of my life. I've had plenty of days where I've felt emotion on a high level and it has taken over my day, but this was on a whole new level. I had several emotions all going at once and on a very high level, all day. Yesterday was the day I would leave Mexico and start the trip "for real" it was also the day I'd be saying good bye to Stacy and be on my own. The amount of emoyions swirling I just couldn't seem to settle down. In fact, I was in the line up checking into my flight to lima and I almost broke out into tears. Between the nerves, sadness, anticipation, and excitment I just needed some sort of release. I'm usually pretty good at keeping my emotions in check, but this was just too much. Getting onto the plane was tough and Stacy and I both cried for sadness. I cried again for happiness less than an hour later as I looked out the window of the plane and knew I was doing it. I was seeing this dream materialize.
It was the most emotional day of my life and I'm sure as the journey gets more intense the nerves and emotions that go with it will get more intense as well. Who knows, maybe I will become someone who cries more often.

Xoxox keep feeling! You kick ass!
Marcus, it's tough to leave Stacy for the next 6+ months, but you will be rewarded in Italia. I can relate your feelings even when I parted company with family in Sioux Lookout on our many visits back to my " home". Enjoy your trip for the adventure ahead and I 'm sure with social media, you will always stay in contact with Stacy and family.....love Dad.
