Almost lift off

It's two am ... I tried to sleep last night. Went to bed at about 10 pm dozing while watching a bit of the Olympics. Those ski jumpers are amazing. What a feeling it must be to hurdle down a hill and then be airborne for 100 feet (or is it metres?).

Rather nice to catch a glimpse of snow before I go. Last night here in Toronto it snowed too. Hard to believe that tonight I'll be in a climate that feels like summer.

I'm feeling surprisingly calm for someone who is going into uncharted territory. Fortunately, it's my own uncharted territory. Lots of people have charted it before me, and I am really grateful to be travelling with the good folks of World Accord - Terry, David and Nelson.

My itinerary:

- land in San Pedro Sula, Honduras about noon
- travel to a farming village about five hours away in northwest Honduras
- stay in Honduras about five days .. then down to Antigua, Guatemala for a day of r & r
- then go to Chimaltenango, not too far from Guatemala City
- Guatemala City on the 24th until March 3rd
- March 3 - go to San Salvador
- March 5 - back home to arrive in Toronto at the frosty hour of midnight ...

.. 2:17 already .. cab will be here in about 20 minutes .. good morning all, I'll update you when I'm at a computer again ... this time in the sunny south.
