Deprture 2

I slept a little bit between 2:15 and 3:45 which was oddly refreshing so the plan that I would sleep more at the airport might be working. Its funny the floor felt so comfortable while I was laying on it but when I got I was definitely achey.

When I went down just after 3:45 there was a huge line so it took 45 minutes to check in so I found an out of the way place to try to sleep for the next 2 or 3 hours.

Departure

I now realize the idea to get to the airport at 1:30 am and spend the night was crazy because LAX doesn't open until 3:45 am.
I have spent days at the airport flying stand by so arriving 6 hours before my flight seemed like a much better idea then trying to arrive at 4:40. So I am sleeping on my luggage next to the security check in waiting for the airport to open. I will have to plan things out better in the future.

A Music Video

I have been trying to expose myself to as much Spanish as possible before my trip to Central America. Last week a I bought a copy of La Opinión and today I came across this video:

Balloons Revistied

I had this idea a almost two years ago that I should buy an around the world plane ticket and travel around the world. The way I would support myself is by selling balloon animals in the Airport of every city I go to. My idea was that what ever money I made would determine how long I stayed in that city. Plus I figured rich tourists would be willing to spare a buck or two for a balloon creature which would go a long way in many cities. money. Plus they might have extra local currency that they wouldn't be needing back home.

I was reminded of this dream when I was checking out Where the hell is Matt. So I think I want to practice making balloon animals for my upcoming trips.

These videos really inspired me for my upcoming travels.

There is also a part there but I didn't find it that interesting.

Where the Hell is Matt?

My tourism posted this video for us to watch before we leave for Central America on Sunday:

Shots and Malaria Medicine

I got my shots today for Hepatitis A and B. I had tried to get the last week but the medical office at school was closed last week and I figured I could procrastinate before that. Then at last weeks orientation for my trip to Central America I found out that I needed to start taking my a week before we left. So I took the first Malaria pill yesterday and need to avoid all contact with mosquitoes for the first 2 days. Though what maybe equally if not more challenging will be avoiding eating fecal matter for the first week. Because my Hepatitis A shot doesn't start working for two weeks.
