Guatemala Bound
Heading out in just a couple of hours. I’m supposed to possibly have Internet service, and I’ll try to tweet from my phone just to show I’m totally still alive.

scariness update: possibly fewer banditos in my future!
Have been told we have security and alternate routes. Fingers crossed! Adventure! Taylor update: he’s eating, but he gets waves of hunger and then either gets distracted (which then he’ll eat again the second you put food under his face and go, “You were eating.” And then he’s all, “Oh, yes! Thank you.”) or he…

It’s Supposed to be Not That Scary… Right?
My plane is taking off tomorrow night for Guatemala. Last night I found the Guatemalan US Embassy’s just-issued warning that says the road we need to get to the area where we’re staying is closed for the rest of the year.

Some friendly traveling tips from Lydia.
My housekeeper Lydia (not just my housekeeper, but this morning mine) uses my parking space when she comes over, which means I have to be out of the apartment by a certain hour. This was the kind of morning where I thought I had everything ready to go until the very last second, when I…

J’ai m’appelle Dorktastique Incroyable
In yesterday’s email: [readermail] Pamie, Having recently visited Paris this past July, I can personally attest that any self-imposed requirement to learn French is unnecessary. I tried to learn a few phrases and found that all I needed was the basics: “hello”, “please/thank you”, and “do you speak English?”. Beyond that, most Parisians I dealt…

mostly i’m just wigging out here.
Yesterday’s entry brought some good email/comments from you guys. [readermail]I love that you’re taking your mom on the Orient Express. I cannot wait to read all about it. Maybe you should write a book. In fact, I command you to! Besides, it would make a way better movie than Eat, Pray, Love and Meryl Streep…
