Oh The Boredom

Sitting here at MIA-feeling a bit MIA-I think the idea of being gone for a couple of months is beginning to set in. This in and of itself doesn’t bother me all that much, I am just incredible bored of waiting in lines.

Should come as no surprise traveling in an airport, but as I sit and “people watch,” I am a really wishing that I would have traveled with someone else. Traveling by yourself is and can be a bit lonely. Oh woe is meL Ha, I just should’ve picked an itinerary that did NOT include a ten hour layover in Miami. I would really like to pick up smoking again, just to have something to do.

And stupid airports!! Why can’t they give a guy (or gal) some free internet?! Oh, you haven’t nickel and dimed me to death already? Not getting even free peanuts is a bit disgraceful, and a little disheartening. And they should honestly have a separate section for screaming babies, like outside of the plane, or in the cargo area!

I have been able to pass the time reading El Alquimista which is a great book and I would highly recommend to anyone who is traveling alone, because it really touches and relates to the idea of searching…

So I’m not all piss and vinegar, just frustrated after sitting here for so long. I should’ve taken some advice and gone to Little Havana for some Cuban food, but I’m cheap and didn’t want to spend a lot of money. So what do I do? Ate at Chile’s and had a jumbo margarita-some days I just don’t get myself.

Promise the next entry to be much more upbeat, and hopefully with some pictures.

For those that do not know yet, while in Peru I will be teaching English to little tykes, giving self-esteem talks to adolescents (hold all jokes-I’m serious) and giving first-aid classes to adults.

I would really like to thank everyone at the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch Thrift Store for donating so many books-I have a 45 pound suitcase full of materials and some Ramen noodles (thanks Beefs!). So hopefully I will be able to enrich a couple of lives-and have a little snack here and there.

Thanks to all the well-wishes from everyone-Meant a lot!

Hasta…
