Not in October, but in April 2007. The timing of making arrangements was just stressing me out because of work and if I do get on the grant to go to Ethiopia (not likely) in November. It's surreal because I managed to find a ticket for $71 (which would normally retail for $1200) using my frequent flier miles, an outfitter that caters to single/backpacker travellers, and have enough vacation days. I'm sure when I actually tell my family that I am going there by myself for 3 weeks, I will get grief. But who cares? I've wanted to go to Brazil for over 10 years and I can finally go! Rio really doesn't appeal to me, but I'm stoked on getting to see Salvador, Igassu Falls (including the Argentinian side, hello extra passport stamp!), the Pantanal, Parity, and Sao Paolo.
In other travel news, I am finally cleaning out and organizing a huge box full of photos and letters. It's been really nice looking at everything. My photography skills are mediocre at best, but it's nice to be reminded of all the different places I've been so far in the Caribbean/Latin America:
- Guadeloupe
- Dominica
- St Lucia
- St Kitts
- Grenada
- Venezuela
- Costa Rica
- Panama
- Nicaragua
- Cuba
- Puerto Rico
- Mexico - the Yucatan, Chiapas, Oaxaca, & Monterrey
...and very soon Brazil! There's also some nice photos in there that I'd forgotten from Colorado (Durango), Texas (Austin & Houston) and around here (American River Canyon, the Carson Valley, and the annual Thanksgiving Day bike ride in Sacramento).
