Hey Kingsley,

I think I’m going to take your advice…Oh, did I just say that? Well, you were right. You were oh, so right. I’m going to go out and live my life. I’m at the bus station now, I’ve decided to cross the country and see everything for the first time. Besides, the airport would be the first place my mother would look anyway.

It was quite a feat to get off the island, maybe one day I will tell you how I managed it.

Just so you know, I’m on my way to see you, I’m coming to California and I don’t care how much you protest, I’m coming to see you. I’ll write along the way, its going to be awhile, so don’t go anywhere.

Love,

Amberly
