Today I purchased my travel insurance through World Nomads for $200. Not bad la. Next I need to get the shots. I need to do my taxes too!! Also I found some free websites teaching spanish so I'll do that for a while. I just realize I do like learning new language and I haven't done that since Japanese in college!
Okay this is only a test run...
