Not much!

A couple of months ago, a good friend of mine bloged his trip to Europe (what-up Mark) and I found my self checking it almost daily. I’m not saying that you will be that interested in my travel blog, but for the couple of you that will be, here it goes… I’m also doing this because I realized that I have a nice digital camera and an even nicer video camera and I don’t have either pics or vids of my favorite trips and adventures. I went to Idaho last year with Tarik and had an amazing time snowboarding and just chillin’ and the road trip was just as good, but I only have some blurry ass phone camera pictures to show for it (check my space for them). So, I am doing this to document my experiences. So, although I do hope you all check in once or twice (except for Leslie, hater), I really hope it forces me to document my experience.

Marla and I will be flying out of LAX tonight at 10:30 pm. Landing in Guatemala but rushing to Copan, Honduras to hang out for a couple of days. Then, off to Rio Dulce to cross the border onto Belize, where we will spend the bulk of our vacation. Not sure how long we will stay. It all depends on how much we like it there. We will mostly be in a place called Placencia, in a cottage about 50 feet away from the ocean. Yeah, main! If we have time, we want to hit the Biotopo del Quetzal on the way back to visit fam in Guate, a place in the highlands dedicated to the preservation of Quetzales, Guates national bird. We want to hike with the goal of actually spotting a bird.

This will be the first time I drive while in Guate. We are renting a small car and buying a map, and off we will go. We want to make as many stops as possible in towns on the way to Copan and Belize. I am so hype!!!

Reading material: “God is NOT great”, Christopher Hitchens and “Understanding the Venezuelan revolution”, Hugo Chavez. Also, Lonely Planet, Guatemala and Belize.

Music: IM LEAVING MY IPOD AT HOME. That’s right yall, I’m leaving behind 30 gigs of my favorite music. I am bringing music though. Grissel and Tarik have provided me a nice road music mixes. I’m also bringing some of my favorite CD’s. You know I gots to bring some Little Brother (the listening and Minstrel show). I also got some Magic Bullets, White Stripes, Feist, Queen, The Who and Alice Smith. I’m not done putting CD’s in my… CD organizer.

I’m not sure how often I will be able to update this blog. Depends on how often I can get to an internet café. I will try to post pics and/or video.
