Hi Gang!
I'm off to Brazil tomorrow morning! Soooo excited! Things are going fairly well at home, too. My boyfriend is not quite so depressed now that he has a job again (first time working since April, and is teaching snowboarding for the 3rd year). I'm really really happy for him -- he is so proud of his job and he is a very good instructor (I was his first student! not how we met, though). So, normally I'd be a nervous wreck about being a 17 hour flight away from him for 2 weeks, but I'm actually looking forward to my trip, for once! And I'm making a beeline for the coffee there - YUMMY!!!!

Anyway, I'll be out of commission for day or two, but I have internet access at the hotel, so will check in on Monday or so.

Have good weekends!
LMo

We are ALL going to be a-ok!
