Well, I am getting things sorted and packed. I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled; I still have insurance until the end of the month. I've been busy moving things back into my parents' house. I have tons upon tons of boxes, having moved twice in the past year. Hell, I still have boxes from my apartment in Lansing to sort through. Which means I should probably just burn them and their contents, as whatever is inside them obviously doesn't matter that much to me, save for a few photos of college shenanigans and tomfoolery.
I'm also researching away, as always. I don't hardly ever STICK to a plan, but I like to have one. GoToNicaragua.com and the Lonely Planet forum have been a godsend. I'm a little nervous of the money exchange, as I can't quite find any info on exchanging money in the Managua airport. But I'm sure I'll be bombarded by people wanting to exchange money with me, so it's not really nerve wracking. Not sure where I'll be spending my first night. I get into Managua at 12:15 p.m. on Saturday, and I'm getting picked up from the airport by some mysterious Carlos character, who will be taking me to Leon - roughly an hour-and-a-half drive. My family homestay doesn't start til Sunday, so I'll probably just stay at a hostel or a hotel. I'd say "cheap" but they're all cheap.
Saying good bye to folks was hard. I'm going to miss everyone a lot, severely at times, I'm sure. But I have full anticipation of returning, so, let the extended eco-vacation begin.
