Tell Everbody I am on my way... Home!

Yes yes yes! I am on my way home to my country of birth and nationality. After 2 years.

I was underestimating how long 2 years is, to be away from the ones you love and cherish. And while there can be no doubt that I have had the most amazing of experiences in this 2 year period, it really (as in REALLY) feels good to be going to Lagos again!

To be honest, I dont so much miss the hustle and bustle... ok... I take that back... not the hustle and bustle... the MADNESS that is Lagos! After living in Stockholm and now Auckland I would be a stress junkie (or clinically insane) to miss the chaos and never-ending-madness that is the city of Lagos. But I am however looking forward with intense excitement to the experience of living there again for a whole month! Does that make sense? I dont miss it but I am looking forward to it?

And I am going for a wedding. And not just any wedding but for my big brother's wedding. Now, weddings are a BIG deal in Nigeria especially the part of it that I come from. My morning suit is ready and waiting for me, ticket is booked and exactly 12 days from now, I will board an Auckland-Dubai-Lagos plane. And to prove to you that I really do live at the (nice) end of the world, I wont get there for another day! It's going to be a 27 hour flight. Bugger!

One thing I have found is that the more money you have, the more you enjoy shopping! Here I always thought I didnt enjoy shopping. But who would if all you did was simply look at the stuff and force yourself to walk out of the store before you spend next month's rent!!! Oh yes... as my disposable income increases, I could certainly enjoy this shopping phenomenom of a thing!

As a big Disney song lover, I would like to share the Phil Collins song from "Brother Bear" title of which is also the title of this post...

Tell everybody i'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
With blue skies ahead, yes i'm on my way
And theres no where else i'd rather be

Tell everybody i'm on my way
And i'm loving every step i take
With the sun beating down, yes i'm on my way
And i can't keep this smile off my face

Cause theres nothing like, seeing each other again
No matter what the distance between
And the stories we tell, will make you smile
Or really lifts my heart

So tell'em i'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
And to sleep under the stars and could ask for more
With the moon keeping watch over me

Not the snow nor the rain, can change my mind
The sun will come out, wait and see
And the feeling of the wind
In your face can lift your heart

Oh... theres no where i'd rather be
Cause i'm on my way now Well and true
I'm my way thereI'm on my way now(x3)

Tell everybody i'm on my way
I just can't wait to be there
With blue skies ahead, yes I'm on my way
And nothing but good times to share

So tell everybody I'm on my way
And I just can't wait to be home
With the sun beating down yes I'm on my way
And nothing but good times to show

I'm on my way
Yes, I'm on my way
