Just Joking. She's Watching. Both of us are anxiously excited. Our backs are packed, iTouches loaded and Beth has convinced herself that it is OK to pee in an airplane bathroom; basically all the essentials are taken care of.
At this point it is T-minus 4 hours, barring any unforeseen hurricane grade winds and rains which have been deluging (word of the week for SoCal news stations) LA and the I.E. for the last few days, before we head to Dallas Fort Worth and then on to Buenos Aires. Our flight leaves at 1:50pm and lands on the morning of the 23rd. This time tomorrow we should be changing our dollars for pesos.
Once we get there, we've got our first couple of days in Buenos Aires booked, and as long as we don't get mugged, kidnapped or lose all our money in an alleyway craps game, we should be in Buenos Aires for the first week or so. Then we'll be heading off to Puerto Iguazo, where Beth's aunt lives, to visit her, learn Spanish (in three weeks) and essentially acclimate to life in South America.
As to this blog and communicating with all of you, we are hoping to keep this updated fairly regularly, but that is contingent upon Internet access. Feel free to email us and if you have Skype, my login name is Jason_Vic1 and I think Beth is planning on signing up soon, or maybe she already has. We'd like to keep in touch as much as possible and we'll do what we can, when we can.
Lastly, we'd just like to thank everyone for all their help, support, purchases of beer for us poor travelers and just generally being around for our last few months. Thank you. Hopefully we'll see some of you in South America, but if not, we'll see you when we get back.
And I'd like to give a shout out to: my favorite toy poodles, chili and gizmo (honorary mention to Roy), Wicking t-shirts and Aguirre, the wrath of god. Without you, I don't think I'd be ready for this trip.
Sweat Meter: a surprising 0. It's cold and rainy in So Cal and despite the 100% humidity I'm as dry as Cloris Leachmen (http://www.cloris.com/).
