I’m leaving tomorrow! And by tomorrow I really mean today. It’s 1 am and my piles of clothes and gadgets and paperwork have not made it into the duffel bags. Hopefully I’ll get everything together by tomorrow afternoon and keep the bags under 50 lb each. This is important– overweight bags require an $80 fee and will cut into my travel fund pretty quickly. Wish me luck as I navigate the global airport system!
On a different note, writing about my life in a public (?) place is going to be pretty different for me. Everyone else in the world might have gotten over the privacy issues here, but I’m still trying to stop Big Brother from watching me sometimes. (Thanks Dad, I know I inherited this from you.) So please bear with me as I try to describe life in Chile honestly without including anything that will prevent my friends from running for public office in 20 years.
