... with a large cold cup of milk for each of us. That made a lovely bedtime snack. The room was tiny, but cozy and warm. Kermie doesnt take too much extra space and we all slept really well. The next day, I had to be at the Red Lion Jantzen Beach for a Relay For Life training. EJ went to the movies with Emily and Jacob while I was busy. He picked me up that night and we came home.

I hope that there is no assuming between us, I've made enough assumptions already, and I've given her an impression of myself more than once.  The best way to get to know somebody, word of mouth, assumptions, and all else aside is to truly be with them and listen to what they have to say.

... only give me a little while with her before boarding my train. I was privileged that she was seeing me off and whilst I couldn't spend my last night with her I would have a drink in her honour. In fact I had several of these as I met some other travellers, which was nice because during my stay at the Backpackers Inn I didn't encounter that many people there. In some ways a good read and a cup of Horlicks should have been had because I got well and truly ...

... turn to days much too quickly and our giddy excitement often gives way to disbelief and finally to a healthy dose of fear of the unknown.  Ah, the gamut of emotions one experiences upon the cusp of change - Universal Studios couldn't build a roller coaster to contend.  When the dust finally settles, we'll each be toting 40 lbs of carefully selected gear on our backs to see us through the extremes of South America.  The remaining 1,960 lbs ...

... improve significantly. The kid behind me has stopped crying and is now asking a string of irritating questions. Well, I finally made it through that flight. I thought it was going to kill me. I almost went postal on the kid behind me a couple times. I'm feeling decidedly better bow that I've had some caffeine and snax. My baggage pick-up and re-check went well. I actually think it was the attendant at the counter who helped me turn my mood around. He was ...
