訂好了機票~換好了英鎊現金和旅行支票
終於有水到渠成的味道!
在這邊正式的向大家分享我的旅遊計畫:
4/21~5/19 我將會回到倫敦自助旅行喔!
回憶2006的9/16我第一次造訪歐洲~
獨自飛行了16小時到倫敦展開16週的遊學生活
你知道，那是一個十一月份中旬的晴朗午後，Gloucester Road , London。陽光灑在樹梢上的樣子，像是不經意又很專注的，替那些入秋了卻仍是翠綠的高大路樹妝點一份悠閒。這個季節，它們即便暫時不發新的枝枒，還是把握有限的日光，努力的行光合作用，優雅的，默默的，幾乎像靜止般的呼吸吐納。它們沒有辦法用言語表達對與生俱來的神聖使命，有多麼認真的執行，但確實是奉行不悖。我用向上五點八公尺高的那片葉子的角度，冒著打擾到它的風險貪婪的放眼望去，企圖用畫面紀念我隻身到異地的遊學之旅──雙滿月。
我終於在熱鬧的市區找到美國運通服務據點，兌現了我使用的第一張英鎊旅行支票。綠草如茵，而對街從地鐵站匆忙的鑽進鑽出的人潮ㄧ刻也沒止住過。
企圖用畫面紀念我隻身到異地的遊學之旅雙滿月的同時，我微笑的順便思索著這是第幾十億萬遍我思索著不同的生命該有怎樣不同的與生俱來的神聖使命？大概也是第幾十億萬遍我反問人類之所以存在，應該是有怎樣重要的與生俱來的使命？好讓我們不同於其他生物的使命的獨特性。又是第幾十億萬遍，我反問自己的存在，到底是為了想要創造怎樣的生命價值？當然，用屬於我的方式。這輩子總要做點像樣的什麼吧？我對自己開出了雄心壯志的人生支票，但代表價值最重要的欄位，還是空著的。
2007年一月五日到一月六日的孤單長途飛行，搭載的是與十六週前截然不同的心情。當初毅然決然離開既有的生活常規，選擇在地球的另ㄧ端歸零學習，用的只是ㄧ股「我要改變！」的傻勁兒。也算是在經費籌措順利的前提下，趕搭上世界小又妙的風潮，什麼現實生活狀況都拋下的，去面對另ㄧ個可能發生更多現實生活狀況的情境。伴隨著眾親友濃濃溫馨的鼓勵、不捨、羨慕及自我安全上的耳提面命，加上少部分人的不可置信、少少部分人的不予置評，展開生平第一次的異國大冒險。這趟旅途中的種種不適應，都因為「反正只是短時間」的正面想法，一一消彌。中間我寄了三十多張問候的平信片回台灣，開出的支票兌現了。第一次投遞的時候，是跟兩位日本同學吃完昂貴但又必須嘗試的英式下午茶，在飯店外面找到的美麗郵桶，幾乎要跟我ㄧ樣的高，投進去的時候再三確認，寄件人的心意一定會跟的ㄧ起傳達到收件人手裡。但怎麼沒有多寄一張給自己呢？我如是的後悔著，我也需要當時的那個寄件人的祝福。
總算，我也不負眾望的平安歸來。
然而，總是被稱做很有想法的我，在短中期目標順利的完成以後，還是得面臨詞窮的窘境。你，「下ㄧ步想怎麼做？」你知道的，我指的是下ㄧ個目標，然後下下ㄧ個目標、下下下ㄧ個目標……嗯……告訴我，你想怎麼做呢？你想過了嗎？

兩年多了~
當初工作意外的轉換產生過的猶豫
感情和存款同時面臨空白或許加速了決心
從業務員到業務主管
96年8/1晉升主任(擁有辦公桌)
98年3/1晉升襄理(換上金色的桌牌)
目標100年2/1當上區經理開房間(有自己的辦公室隔間)!
在這之前~
可以給自己一個愛的鼓勵吧!?
於是我發了email給Julia(遊學時的室友)
在英鎊下跌和免簽證的時候~這真是很不錯的計畫阿!
以下是我們的email紀錄:

That`s so great!!!
If I could stay with my dear Julia~that means I just need to book a fly
ticket and go to you in any minute!
Any maybe stay longer then two weeks!
As my plan ,I will go to London on May~
I will take care of myself when you`re working and maybe help you to clean
the house!:P
After you work we could do something or go somewhere together like before!
Of course I will share the time of you after your boy friend!
I`m as nice as yesterday!haha!
Oh~and this time I will bring a luggage just 2kg!
And buy lots of things from London(make the luggage as 40kg)!
I want to see the musicals more than twice a week~
Go to every museum every day!

What a pity!?
I thought we could stay together as we want!
Anyway~we still decide to go on April to May.
It`s OK if we stay in your place just until the end of Apr.
We could find somewhere to stay or maybe we will visit the other citys.
Congratulations to your sister!
And good to know you and your BF have a vacation in Thailand.
I`ve been there once and I love that place very much!
You`ll have a great time there!
Next time please come to Taiwan!
The distance is almost as far as you guys go to Thailand.
Miss you so~Tiffany XXX
