So here I am at Gate C17, Riga airport, watching passengers disembark the Turkish Airline plane that I will soon be boarding. Strange to think it’s Thursday evening and I’m starting my dream excursion, but won’t arrive until Saturday morning. Nervous? Yes. Excited? Of course. And really thankful for my wife for being so supportive and understanding about me deserting my family for two weeks. And yes, a bit sad also. Breaking routine, especially when it comes to daily family life, is a challenge in itself. OK, time to board.

Great post
