It's nearly 12:30 am on February 4th - the departure day has finally arrived! After a year of calendaring this trip, it finally struck me last night that Ann and I were really going to do this. In my usual "I'll have time to do one more thing" fashion, I've put off packing until....tomorrow morning. The bedroom chair is heaped with assorted clothes, worksite necessities and personal items. I'm not sure how to get all this into one small suitcase and a backpack. I am envisioning being an upside down turtle when my backpack (which is supposed to contain 3 days of clothes and personal items in case our luggage gets lost) flips me over trying to dislodge it at the security checkpoint. My hair products alone would fill the backpack! I'll be working on packing in a few hours.
Our flight out of Denver is already delayed, as is the Dallas flight to Buenos Aires. We'll have plenty of time to mingle with the other Super Bowl fans arriving for the big game ( GO PACKERS). I've saved two Ambien for the flight there and back and looking forward to a deep and restful sleep. Yeah, right.
Our hotel in Ascuncion was also changed today. The previous hotel looked very nice and offered all the amenities that we could want. This one may not be quite as nice, but we'll have to see. Previous guests really loved it or really hated it. More on that later.
I best close this note, continue working on laundry and try to sleep a little. I will update as I can. Also watch the group blog at http://partner
