So I’ve been slacking. While I really should be researching and planning stuff or our extended trip, I sit here getting giddy for Burning Man. I think mainly because our road trip starts in 82 days and we’re still not exactly sure when we’re leaving for Central/South America. I got so excited over our planning… Continue reading Preliminary Planning
