New year...leaving town for Argentina!

Could it be? Could it really be 2007?
This is my first blog entry of 2007, and I am not entirely sure that I have much funny stuff or interesting stuff to write about, but I couldn't let you down and leave without an update.

Where to? I am leaving for Argentina tomorrow. I have worked hard and diligently for the past year not taking off any vacation so that I could take a long vacation at some point. Postponed from October to now, I am finally going! I leave tomorrow and will be gone until Jan 22. I will hopefully have email access, so I will try to keep y'all posted with entries and pictures.

In preparation for my trip, I have done almost nothing. I did research and found an apartment for $175/week. It sleeps two, has a kitchen, cable, and I think it has Internet, though I am not sure if it's free or not. That breaks down to $12.50 per person per night. I may not get hotel points for staying there, but you can't really beat the price. My dad and I also planned a 4 day trip to the glaciers, but other than that, we're going to play it by ear. I can't wait.

Between my last post and now fell New Years. New years eve was spent with my dad, putting molding and other final touches in the dining/living room that we'd floored the week prior. That evening, I was supposed to hang out with my friend Jeremy for new years, and actually was really excited about it, but he decided to go out to a club, which I wasn't interested in doing, especially on New years, so I opted to host people over instead. it sucked that I didn't get to see Jeremy as planned, but as a very last minute pursuit, and with just a day's notice, it actually turned out alright! Everyone who came seemed to have a good time, with an extra special firecracker display that DZ and Jonathan prepared.

Most people ended up sleeping over since it was raining and most of them were drunk. It worked out fine because I was planning on hosting people the next day to watch the GT bowl game anyway, so most just stayed for a straight 24 hour period. We made pancakes for breakfast and grilled during the game. It proved to be a lot of fun. Josh stopped by on his way through back to Pensacola, and Leah W. stayed over for a couple days after returning from NYC too.

I have been at work all week, trying to put closure on everything before I drop them cold for 17 days. Tonight I'll hit the gym and pack the rest of my stuff.
