August 10, 2012 – 4:00pm California Time

Looks like it’s going to be a crazy time getting there.  My 1:00pm fight out of LAX was delayed.  New itinerary?  LAX all day – fly out at 430 pst and arrive at midnight in Virginia.  From there get a taxi to a hotel…hang out there during the day and return to the airport the next night….take a redeye to brazil and arrive sunday at 9am, exhausted wild and crazy.

I debated going home today and then just coming back, but I was already here.  Like at the airport.  Pot committed so to say.  Everyone’s just as annoyed as I am.  I’m trying to be calm, but I’m not very good at being calm.  I feel out of control and completely helpless.  And exhausted.

Adventures are a pain in the ass.   I’m really scared of doing this.  Like, I don’t know.  What if something happens?  What if this was a sign.  Why am I here?

I’ll tell you why.  When I know.
