Had a little taste of the cruising life today, as one of my closest friends drove away. She and her family bought a gorgeous river front home on the coast of Maine, which had been a dream of theirs for years. Today, she finally realized her dream. As we stood there in the early hours of the morning (we had one last coffee walk) and watched the huge moving truck arrive, it hit home that this would be the last time we would see each other for awhile.
For the past year, we have been hosting yard sales in our effort to downsize, planning out our adventures, chatting it up at work, and grabbing coffees on early morning walks. Excited for one another's upcoming move, we enjoyed sharing in each other's experiences (and frustrations, successes, etc) with planning such a thing.
A week later, we had our "sailing away" bonfire with friends, as we will be leaving a few days afterwards. It was so great to see everyone, but also quite emotional.
Goodbyes and see-you-laters are a large part of the cruising life. Guess I had better start getting used to these situations. Still....it's not easy...
