en route

I know it's been a month since I've posted and I'm not going to give excuses again, or say that it won't happen again, because clearly it will, so I'll just dive into things. I'm at the Miami airport right now, finished with a red-eye (never fun, especially with a screaming baby and turbulence) and meeting up with Anita here before boarding our flight to Nicaragua. But first, a few observations of the Miami airport:

No moving walkways. What? My bag is heavy and I just had to trek across the whole airport. I am a lazy American and feel I deserve one in every American airport!

Lots of spanish speakers. I feel that if I was more delirious than what I am after barely any sleep, I may think I was already in Nicaragua.

Lack of Starbucks. All I want is my coffee and it seems all there is are only au bon pains and weird cafeteria breakfast places. Don't despair - I did find one, but again, this is America - wouldn't there be Starbucks' everywhere? I feel like I'm already in a different country.

Anyways, next I'll be writing from Nicaragua. Hopefully not too hot, despite the 97 degree constant weather I've been seeing on weather.com. And hopefully a bit less nervous about the whole language barrier. I'm counting on the fact that it will all come back to me. Right?

(PS. Please excuse my grumpiness. Most likely it is due to my lack of sleep)

Until then!
