Leaving tomorrow on a jet plane...

---

After much anticipation... the trip to South America is finally happening! My dad will be headed down to South America for one to two years starting in Colombia, and I will be the first of his children to visit him. I spent the last month helping my dad pack up the house and wrapping up some things of my own... and now I am ready to go (minus the spanish lessons that were supposed to be happening weekly).

I am heading to Ecuador and Colombia TOMORROW with my boyfriend and best friend, Sean. I can't think of anyone else in the world I would rather travel with. . He is fun, relaxed, hilarious, patient, adventurous.. the list could go on forever but he really is the BEST travel buddy. We have already been on a few unforgettable trips together.

Friends, Family, and co-workers have told us they are a little worried that we are going to get kidnapped or lost at sea in the Galapagos so we decided to ease their worries and just start a blog. We will be most likely taking turns writing.

Of course we haven't made an itinerary yet or packed, so we'll be very busy for the next 24 hours. I also need to teach Sean how to salsa and that may take awhile...
