My dear friends: It's getting colder in Canada and my thoughts are wandering to warmer climes. On January 12/2010, I fly to Managua, Nicaragua and then work my way north ending up in Cancun, Mexico.

Well this is it, I am leaving for the airport and will be flying out tonight at 8:30pm EST. I am all packed and ready to go...might even be a little nervous as this is the last time I will see home for 40 days. Pretty sure I packed the right amount of stuff...final luggage weigh-in at ...

... another third backpack (had been my school bag in the past). It seems like a lot of stuff (especially since I pride myself on being low maintenance) but I really not sure how I can do with less.
