It's for real

I bought my tickets today. I was nervous and giddy and excited, all at the same time. You know that feeling you get, right before you go in for that first kiss with someone you really like? Where fantasy is about to become reality and you really hope it measures up - and a tiny, tiny part of you wants to bail at the last minute just in case it doesn't - and you have butterflies in your stomach and you can't believe it's finally happening? My finger hovered over the mouse, I read and re-read the fine print (and I NEVER read the fine print) and then...I bought my tickets. It's for real.

The flight itinerary:

Washington D.C. to Managua, Nicaragua

Managua, Nicaragua to Quito, Ecuador

Lima, Peru to Seattle, Washington

Time allowed: 143 days

147 days sounds like a long time. Lets see, one's life is about 30,000 days to old age, so I guess it's only half a percent of your life but it'll seem like a lot more.
