It\u2019s never easy as a parent at that point \u2014 seeing him disappear off into the big wide world, but also knowing that he\u2019s doing exactly what he wants and setting off on adventures we could only dream of. At least last time he went to Canada with a friend; this time he\u2019s all on his own. He seems to take it all in his stride, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we drove home, the car felt quieter, but also full of pride. Seeing him set off into the world again \u2014 independent, curious, and kind \u2014 is everything you could hope for as a parent. Still, it doesn\u2019t make the goodbye any easier. At least in the modern world it&#8217;s easy to keep in touch, and this time, rather than heading off with nothing really planned, he does have accommodation waiting for him and a job already secured. Last time in Canada he just &#8216;winged it&#8217; and took some time to find a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His first stop on this trip was a couple of days in\u00a0Abu Dhabi. He seems to have lucked out there, staying in a hotel with a rooftop pool for next to nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6558.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6558.jpeg\" alt=\"Rooftop Pool inn Abu Dhabi\" class=\"wp-image-47177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6558.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6558-150x200.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rooftop Pool inn Abu Dhabi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>After that, it was back onto another flight to Japan, where he landed today and has managed to get all of his stuff to a shared house in the Urayasu area \u2014 which looks nice enough from Google Earth! We\u2019re not sure what he\u2019s going to do for four weeks, but I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll find plenty to keep him occupied in Tokyo. A city like that has to have more to offer than sleepy little Ynyslas \u2014 even if it will be something of a shock to the system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good luck, Morgan. Have an amazing time.
