The Rationale

So, Mom asked me to send her a daily e-mail whilst traveling to let her know that I'm ok. I figured I might as well start a blog assuring her, and any friends who are interested, that I'm not dead yet.

I'll probably have pretty good internet access in all the places I go except for Santiago, so I'll try to update regularly (don't expect it to be particularly interesting though, it'll decrease the probability I'll write anything at all). 

Oh, and Marcia will also be writing here once she leaves (or whilst she's preparing to).

Anywho, I should probably go pack now...
