First Post

Four more days until I finish work! Sarah's last day was today. I was expecting her to get very drunk tonight in celebration but she had one glass of champagne and complained it was making her itchy before switching to Vodka and then going to bed early!
I'm sitting in bed next to her sleeping form giving my new Asus Eee PC a bit of a workout. Bought it specifically for the big trip and figured i'd better get the Blogging set up and figure out how to do it before we leave. The poor thing is struggling a bit to connect to the wireless router four concrete walls and a floor away but it's managing just. (edit: Wasn't able to get a good connection. Luckily one of the neighbours is kindly sharing theirs. Thank you "WLAN")

So the plan for the next month is finish work, head up to visit my parents and brother and his family on the NSW far north coast, then head back to Sydney and catch a plane to Guatamala via Buenos Aires. Month in Guatamala learning Spanish (surely enough time to become fluent!) and helping to look after orphans, then head overland to Mexico City (via Mayan ruins) before flying to Ecuadore and heading south until we reach Tierra del Fuego.
