You guys are going to LOVE this.
Take a seat some of you may need it
*takes a deep breath
So I'm at a point in my life where I see a great opportunity or at least from my point of view its great
I'm single, no kids, no pets, almost no bills, a small income, I love to travel, and I just started school. SSSOOO, Anyone see where this is going yet?

I've decided I want to go see some of the world. I've thought this through several times over the past several months, so this is only spur of the moment thing if you aren't me

I quit school...already
gonna pay off my car and give it to my sister
turn off my cell
buy a plane ticket
and go backpacking across...where ever

I'm going to start in Costa Rica and backpack around there for a bit because its warmer there than Europe this time of year , I've been to a little town there and know a couple people. I think it'd be a great starting point for me.

I'm aiming to leave by the 7th of Feb. Tell you how long I'm staying when I get back And I'll be making a day or two to play before I go

Well thats just about the craziest thing ever Good luck with it, it does sound pretty fun. I had to google it to see where it is which is a shame. I was thinking it was one of the caribbeans but its right next to panama. You should make getting there an adventure and drive. You can get another sister so no worries there.

Congrats, Def. Have a great time and enjoy the tropics!

Be sure to check your shoes for scorpions before you put them on.

good luck with classes, er.. I mean *cough*

sounds pretty awesome actually...I backpacked to woodstock 94, back in, well..94...didn't do the world though...have fun, but be careful, some places in the world aren't safe for the rest of us(and I don't mean man-eating tigers either)...

you are one of a small handfull of good guards on this server, was great runnin with ya(guys like jago, atticus, teutonic, and you were actually some of my early influences heh)..when/if you return, I'll do what I can to get you caught up ;}

Gosh, Def, I am gonna miss having you around. Part of me envy your bravura. I wish you happy days ahead, your quest is an awesome one. Sometimes the best education is not in a classroom but exploring a distance land, the people and their cultures. Kinda what we do in Lotro. Stay safe, carefree and have fun. Someday when you check back on some computer, i hope my new story about the kin and about Def will make you smile. Live long and prosper, old friend.

Def, I hope that you find much happiness, and lots of friends along the way. Safe travel to you. You will be missed.

You are insane and I love it! If you have an opportunity, why not take it. BE SAFE, stay alive, but see the world! I hope you make it far.

As others have said, you will definitely be missed...pop into an internet cafe every so often, if you have the cash, to let us know you're still out there somewhere.

Def,

sounds like a cool oppurtunity. Have lots of fun, Be careful, and learn lots about the different places you visit. You'll be missed in Middle Earth. Check in when you can and let us know what you're up to
