As the trip approaches, panic is starting to set in. Did we get everything we needed? Did we arrange everything over here like we need to? How are we going to get by in Honduras for 4 weeks with our not-so-great spanish?
The logical approach to allaying these fears is, of course, to go out and buy stuff. So this past weekend we went shopping and spent a somewhat obscene amount of money on things like high-strength mosquito repellent, money belts, travel clothes, a vintage tandem cruiser....
The vintage tandem cruiser is not actually going on the trip. But on the way home from REI we saw this thing at a garage sale down the street (and by garage sale I mean this guy sells stuff every weekend from his garage that I'm pretty sure he takes out of alleys and dumpsters every week - recycling really), and HAD to buy the thing. It is completely non-functional now but should make for an interesting project whence we return.
But I digress.... we think that for now we pretty much have everything lined up. Airline tickets have been purchased, mosquitoe repellent will be applied, the parents are nervous. We leave early morning March 18 & will update our location via the nifty little map we added to the site, so if you get bored at work or erstwhile on the interweb come check out where we are that day. We'll try to keep up with adding photos and whatnot as well.
