Espresso for a Woman's spirit

I am really leaving. It's D-4 days to Sydney. I have been spending the past week meeting up with people. Some are new acquitances that i have just started getting comfortable with. Others are old friends who go back years and we are like history... Whatever it is, it is sad to leave them. I wonder if things were ever be the same after the break in communication. Of course, the world is smaller now with internet connection, skype, gchat, yahoo messenger etc.... still i feel that nothing beats face to face contact and communication.
