Is there anything more boring than organising and getting ready? Everything takes twice as long as you'd expect, people make twice as many mistakes, and you forget twice as many things. Something about this pressure-on time, it attracts problems. The funny thing is most things turn out alright in the end. So surely when I DO leave, it'll only get better right?
First stop for me is Buenos Aires, where I have a 14 hour stop over before going to Salvador, Brazil. Not sure what I'll do there yet, find somewhere to crash hopefully, and wake up in time for my 5am flight out. God I hope I have enough Spanish to survive.
