Cartin' off to Cartagena

Well, 5 hours ago I abandoned all hope of getting all my work done before heading out on vacation, turned on my OOO and fell into bed for a quick 4 hours of sleep before my alarm sounded at 3 am. Because I. Am. Off!! To Colombia!!

And while YOU might imagine drug cartels and dictators, I'm looking forward to beautiful colonial architecture and eating my weight in empanadas.

So I've got several hundred thousand pesos in my pocket (don't worry--that's like 20 bucks), I convinced Spirit to let me depart even without having pre-filled out some mysterious immigration form, and I'm awake at 5 am. It's an auspicious start to this next adventure!!

I'm a Colombian millionaire.
