Countdown

The countdown has begun...5 days until my departure for Guatemala, just one more day of work. My room is halfway packed up, and I plan to finish it up before Sunday is over so I can spend Monday relaxing before my departure. The nerves are creeping in as is the sadness to leave behind all that is familiar. My friends, my family, the comfort of my bed, tap water and most importantly, bacon. I am told that I can find bacon down there, but that it's quite expensive. As excited as I am about my journey, I am also a bit fearful of the bugs. After seeing pictures from a few friends who've spent time in Central America and the bug creatures they encountered and have living in their intestines, I'm a bit freaked out. I've been told that if I take probiotics, I should be able to avoid those aggressive parasites. Let's hope this advice is useful, as I just spent half a days paycheck on probiotics. Oh the joys of traveling.

Well, I probably will not write again until I am down south unless something really exciting happens. Doubtful. Signing off...
