If you take the nine hour difference into account and the eleven hour long flight, then I will still be sitting in the KLM flying machine in one week's time.

Perhaps in my anticipation I am trying to speed up the time a little.

Actually, it should be alot of fun wandering around in the area I grew up and left more than twenty years ago.

There's something about the past and my sentimental tendencies that make such an upcoming sojourn worthwhile and invigorating.

I cannot wait. Not only to see my mother, the relatives and friends, but also as a pure form of fun and relaxation.

So that when I do return after the two weeks I will be reinvigorated with energy, new insights, and a fresh mind to go onwards and upwards.
