Things just got real

Hello everyone! :-)

We've been talking about our world trip for a long time now. Or at least, it feels like a really, really long time for me. Nine months ago we came up with this crazy idea to travel. A lot of people talk about it, travel and see the whole world. Not a lot of people actually do it. Talking is easy, but doing it takes a lot of courage. Off course it's a lot of money and you leave everything you know behind. We're going to miss our family, our friends, the life as we know it right now.

But today things just got real. At least for me.

Today we had a meeting in Antwerp where they offer language courses. We still have the ambition to learn Chinese and Spanish. There are a lot of organizations that offer these courses. So, we are looking for something cheap, but also a school where we actually learn something.

Then at 4pm we had another meeting, but off course we were late. We arrived at the hospital in Leuven at 5 pm, but we called that we'd be late because of the traffic. There was a short interview; where are we going to? How long? Things like that.

I got five vaccinations at once, Eileen got three. As a child I was always afraid of needles and refused to get vaccinated. So, that brings the total of vaccinations at six and for Eileen five. I was the one who was really scared and wished that someone could have been there to hold my hand, haha. But thank god it wasn't that bad. The vaccination of Hepatitis A and B (they're combined) really hurts. Eileen? She really wasn't scared at all. She even looked at the needle and the nurse was surprised that she even looked.

Then we were walking back to my car, but off course we got lost in the parking lot. It was an adventure on its own before we reached my car. If we do something - like get vaccinated - it's never boring with us.

With love,

Yoni and Eileen.
