My Very Ambitious Itinerary


Well, this is my very industrious itinerary. Let's see how much of it I get to. There are places I can skip, there are places I can bail. Wish me luck! Aodhan wants to bring wheelie suitcase with everything he owns:) I think I will let him. I have tried to make the trip as stressless as possible - well, as stressless as it can be doing long bus rides to unknown destinations in 3rd world countries:) 

I do apologize to everyone in advance, as I will not be bringing back any of the super cheap, legal marijuana from Uruguay since I have seven international borders to cross to to get it home, and some of them I have to cross more than once! Hopefully everyone will be happy with some Atacama desert sand or a knitted llama puppet:). 

If you think I am crazy, we are on the same page. I need to go though, for several reasons. 1. I was kicked out of my apartment (see previous blog - nothing I did wrong - just the landlord got greedy) 2. I will go stir crazy here for another month 3. I came all the way to South America for the third time, I am not leaving without seeing Iguazu Falls. 4. My blogs are getting too boring.
