photoOh my. By this time tomorrow I will be groggily buckled into a seat in coach, readying for the first leg of our flight to Lima, Peru. I am 90% excited 10% fighting the urge to freak out. Where has my travel zen gone, guys? Why am I concerning myself with buying a back-up pair of harem pants and finding Opium perfume in a balm when I should be omming and practicing Spanish?
So I will take some deep breaths and remember all the amazing things that await me. Hiking the Inca Trail! Machu Pichu! Lake Titicaca! Carnival in Oruro! Surf Lessons! Meeting witch doctors, deep in the mountains! Hanging with my mister and two of my favorite ladies! And the possibility of two more favorite ladies joining us as well!
I will also make an active effort not to obsess over the entire 'Dangers and Annoyances' section of the Lonely Planet. (But, let's be honest. Fake police?! That steal your passport and kidnap you?! That business is frightful.)
Before I take off for three months (!) please allow me to engage in some deeply shameless self-promotion. Though I will be out and about, Yes and yes will continue to run at a clip. We've got so many lovely things in the works! Heaps of guest posts from some of your favorite bloggers! An interview series with friends of mine who have amazing jobs (Special effects guru for Peter Jackson! Handbag Designer! Movie Set Caterer!) plus all sorts of content that I've been writing over the last month, instead of learning to habla de espanol. And of course, there will be many an update from the road, in which I detail my love for llamas, Bolivian bowler hats, and humitas.
So with all these good things in the works, don't you think that now would be a good time to subscribe to The Good Ship Yes and Yes? And if you follow me on twitter, I promise you all sorts of goodies like "Just inadvertently told the waiter I wanted fried grapes." And! If you email me your snail mail address, I'll even send you a post card! What fun!
While I'm out and about, The BFF will be taking over the day-to-day operations here, so you might not see much of me in the comments here or on other blogs. But rest assured, as I'm riding some dilapidated bus over a mountain pass, trying to ignore the squawking of the chickens sitting behind me, I'll be wondering what all of you are up to.
Wish me luck! See you in Peru!
