Let The Adventure Begin!

We're finished packing. I remembered to pack my Spanish-English dictionary. Erin's mom sent us an i-tunes gift card so we're perusing movies to buy and watch on our 1.5" screen.

Adventure-prepping is tiring business. Were Lewis and Clark worried about packing two types of bug spray? Did Columbus get a side-ache carrying his luggage? Did Admiral Byrd almost forget his yellow fever vaccination papers to prove to the customs officials that he got his shots? Did Amelia Earhart have a seven hour layover during the middle of the night in Lima? Did Conan the Barbarian have to try on his money belt?

The world may never know...

Have a great time and keep the posts coming, I've got the blog loaded into my RSS feeder so feed me! Maybe some video posts as well?! <- I recommend blip.tv for uploading and then embedding in blog. I always like the diary room "thoughts at the start/end of the day". And lots of picture of course (use those old school English-Journalistic skills) and don't forget about "philosophical-Andy" <- these trips have got to be about getting to the core ideology and you better share those thoughts (new generation of openness). I've obviously had my morning coffee so will stop blaberring and wait for more to comment upon! Bon Voyage or whatever the Spanish is for that?! Best, DFF

We didn't bring a video camera! We bought a sweet DSLR camera and it's buky enough to carry around. My words will have to suffice.
