Day 98: Long Day

Bachelor parties are fun, but man do they wear you out. I don't recommend 3 day weekends in Vegas and Montreal on back to back weekends... fun as it is, I'll be ready to fall over by the end of the weekend.

Day 96: Long Day for Monday

As I mentioned earlier, Montreal is this weekend... so since this is Day 96, after today I'll only have Monday to finish the challenge. And while I stepped it up a little today, the reality is, I'll have 85 minutes to go on MOnday... not insurmountable, but definitely a good ride. Lucky for me I have monday off. Unlucky for me, I'll have just spent all weekend drinking at a bachelor party... win some, you lose some!

BTW... Spanglish is a great movie!

Day 95: Ecuador Meeting

Tonight is our bi-weekly Ecuador team meeting and tonight is Spanish night... the first of a few basic spansih lessons... so now I can say "How do you say..." and then make a gesture. For example... Cómo se dice and then point to my eye... which they'd then respond 'ojo'. I think this will be the most important phrase to know... with 'Como de dice' in my pocket I should be able to traverse my way trough Ecuador.

¡Ése es todo para ahora!

Day 93: Back in One Piece

Made it back all in one piece from Vegas. A little catch up to do on the challenge as we enter the final week of the challenge. I'm pretty excited about the final as that will kick off the rest of the final planning for the trip, and put an end to the fundraising cycle... I'll also of course have to start collecting so be prepared if you sponsored me :)
