Today I received my Paypal invoice from Climb Kilimanjaro. I planned this entire trip out on a whim - well I'll climb this way, and oh maybe see some lions over here for a few days, and hmmm maybe a day or two in Amsterdam might be nice - and then wham! the first bill comes.
It took me a few minutes to actually click "Send". Did I really want to do this trip? Could I see myself at the top of the mountain by that sign? Should I buy insurance first? And then I thought what the hell else are you going to do this year? Send.
It still feels like a bit of a dream. I said to a friend that paying online for things, moving money around, doesn't register the same way pulling cash out of your wallet does.
