leaving soon

Hey there, how ya doin'?

Thanks to everyone who has called, emailed or dropped by to give me well wishes for my trip!

Well, i'll be flying out of Sydney this Friday at approximately 3:30 pm bound for San Francisco on Qantas flight ____ i dont know. I saw on the news last night that there is a travel warning against going to Mexico City or Oaxaca state in Mexico at the moment due to violence and unrest after the recent presidential and congressional elections. There have been some bombings of public buildings in Mexico City and some violent clashes between workers and the establishment, particularly in Oaxaca city. I'll be flying into Mexico City on the 29th of November, but now I will most likely not spend much time there and make for the Carribean coastline along the eastern side of the country.

Rough travel plan


1. San Fran (Nov 24)
2. LA
3. Mexico (Nov 29)
4. Nicaragua
5. Honduras
6. Costa Rica
7. Panama ?
8. Peru
9. Bolivia
10. Argentina (March 07 ?)

Not really to sure which countries I will definately visit. I hope to just go with the flow and follow my interests. I'm looking forward to speaking Spanish with local people and seeing what kind of environmental/conservation initiatives are under way in these parts of the world. Would love to do a bit of photography as well! Maybe someone along the way can teach me how to use my camera properly. (I think my lense is broken from dropping my camera at a party? Oh dear...)
