Hey everyone! So we decided to do a joint blog to document this epic adventure we're about to embark on. We figured two heads are better than one, and with the both of us blogging we should (hopefully) be able to crank out some posts fairly often.
For those of you who may not know, the two of us (Katie and Caitlin, just to keep things confusing) are headed down to Central America for a months long backpacking trip. We are starting the trip with two days in Miami, and then we continue on to Belize on Thursday. Right now it's approximately 6:26 am and we haven't slept yet. Well, Katie is currently working to resolve that issue at the terminal gate. She's giving it an A for effort trying to contribute to this post, but it's slightly less than coherent. She claims she can type better than she can talk at this point, so here we go...
*Just to try and keep things a little simpler and easy-to-read, Caitlin Regan will be writing in regular font and Katie Smith will be rockin' the italics*
We're off. Truth be told I could have definitely used one more day to get things together, and sort out life at home, last minute chrismukah gifts, visiting family, self gifts... it all got a little crazy for a minute. I think at one point my mom and regan were wondering if I was really going to pull it off, and well, we made it to the airport so, so far so good! Everyone who knows me well probably knows that my version of "on time" is about ten minutes late so the last minute run around was very typical Smitty style.
Ive gotta say right now more then anything I am completely elated that we are leaving this god forsaken weather behind us. Regan does a little bit better than I do in the cold being that she is from Newport NH and I am from Newburyport which is probably just slightly warmer at any given time. We both went to UVM though so you would think I would be able to tough this chilliness out no sweat! (no pun intended either.) Honestly after our Australia travels I just forget what it's like to be really cold. This is one of the main reasons I wanted to make this trip a reality. Aloha beaches, here we come. I really couldn't EVER over-indulge in sun or sand or waves. Beach bumin' for life. Boarding call...time to catch up on some sleep just in time for some Miami Madness!
Smitty and Regan, signing off
