2 weeks!

It's two weeks tomorrow until I fly out to Mexico. I now have my good friend Fi joining me for Central America, which is slightly relieving to say the least. There is an election taking place in Guatemala in November, I have my fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly and we don't get caught up in any trouble! 

I have been working ardently on my Spanish phrases and think I have the essentials covered:

Quisiera dos cerveza por favor - I would like two beers please

Salud! - Cheers! 

Donde esta la fiesta!? - Where is the party?

Mucho Gusto Mis Amigos! - Pleased to meet you my friend! 

Still trying to sort out malaria tablets, central america has one kind of mosquito and south america another, requiring two different tablets that I can't take at the same time but need to continue the C.A ones for 4 weeks after leaving. Complicated stuff, the pharmacist called the information centre who are now talking to a malaria specialist, seriously, I can't be the first person to travel central and south america in one trip! 

So, two weeks to pack and get my house in order. It's all getting a bit real now! I'll miss my friends and family alot, and of course Rob who I haven't spent more than 2 weeks apart from in the 5 years we've had together :( Goodbyes at the airport are the one part of the trip I'm not looking forward to. But I know it will fly by and I'll be home for Christmas before I know it.
