Ok, so I realize that Erika has beaten me to the punch for the pre-departure entry, but I feel that I should to throw my two too-excited-to-sleep cents in too.
I have done the travel thing a bit. I've lived in Northern Ireland, traveled around Europe and been down to Ecuador. This is going to be different in so many ways. For one, this will be the first time that I am going somewhere where I don't know if I (or the people I am with) can communicate on some menial level with the person across from me. Needless to say, that it is a bit daunting, but I am not overly worried. I am as master of charades and pictionary. For seconds, this will be my first travelling out of the area of Western influence. Northern Ireland is part of the UK, Europe, is well, Europe, and Ecuador use the US dollar for their currency. Even thousands of miles away you aren't really straying to far from home. It's time to stray, even if only slightly. We don't have anything overly crazy planned, mostly big cities, cool cultural things and beaches on the docket, but it is a step in the right direction. Let's take a few steps off of that beaten path that Erika talked about and see what there is to see.
Catch you on the flip side (of the world).
