What I want from this trip:

Here are my goals:

1. Do Everything.
2. See Everything.
3. Have Good Time.
   

Ha.ha. Just kidding. Srsly. Here goes:

1. Speak proficient Spanish - I have some pretty basic conversational skills.
2. Become a confident, comfortable solo traveler.
   
3. See both coasts.
4. Meet some cool people.
5. See a Blue Morpho.
6. Ride a horse on the beach.
7. Yell at a Monkey.
8. Surf in warm(er) water.
9. Put some work in on the novel.
10. Laugh, often.
    

(Okay I'm just kidding about #7. If I saw a monkey I might yell, yes, but not AT the Monkey)

Everything else is gravy. Now I'm going to take a deep breath, look at some maps and peruse my research and make a destination decision.

Stay tuned.
