This blog...

     This is my first blog so bear with me.  Let me just briefly explain what is going on here.  Myself and two of my friends (Jackie Blumenthal and Angelica Barrera) will be leaving December 4th to embark on a backpacking trip though out South America.  I will do my best to keep you up-to-date on what we are doing but I'm not sure how often I will have internet.

     

     The basics of the blog are at the TABS at the top of the screen (Home, About Me, Pictures, The Things I Carry, Here and There, Random Musings).  Most of them are self explanatory but just in case I will fill you in on each.  "Home" is the page you are on. Got it? Good.  "About Me" is a brief bio of me.  "Pictures" will be a page that I post the most exciting pictures that I take on my cheap 5 megapixel camera.... If I can figure out how to post them.  "The Things I Carry" is a list of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, that I am taking with me. The purpose of that is to try and show you why I am wearing the same clothes in just about every picture.  "Here and There" is a place I will be writing what I miss the most about the USofA and what I would be doing if I were there and comparing it to what I am doing in South America.  "Random Musings" is basically if I have a thought that I absolutely have to share with you all, but it doesn't fit in any of the other categories.  Warning: When I say random I mean very very random.  You don't know how weird I am...

Apart from all that I will trying to do this trip in the cheapest manner possible.  I have already spent around $300 on immunizations and malaria tablets and close to the same amount on gear.  We leave at 10:55pm from LAX on the 4th, stop in Florida, then after a 4 hour lay-over we are off to Colombia.  I hope this blog is intriguing enough that you follow along!

PS If anyone knows how to get music to play on the blog I would love to know you're secret.
