I'm off to the tropics my freinds....Cut off my hair....packed my goods and I'm hoping for the best...one month of waves, rain, bugs, heat, stink, and everything else pleasant I can think of...been 3 years since I've gone adventuring and I think the overdue nature of this trip is starting to tear me up with excitement....not sure how the web access is down in Panama....but I will try and let you know if I can.....You may not hear from me again until Sep. 22, but check back here and there to see....
