It's really happening, folks.

It was a pretty standard lazy day off. I slept in, did laundry, caught up on So You Think You Can Dance and Dexter, Sarah got home from work early and took a nap. And then...

We made the ultimate first step towards our Latin American Adventure. Sarah made me push the button. And then we screamed. And our hearts pounded. And Captain Kirk's face kept flashing up for an entire minute that felt like ten as we waited for the confirmation screen. And our hearts still pounded. And my blackberry popsicle melted. And then the other foot landed and we screamed some more.

And then we went down the street for a congratulatory dinner of french toast at our favorite local diner.

At this point in my un-financially-stable life, that was a HUGE step.

Tomorrow: we buy our packs.

Love as always, Laura
