OK, so this is a pretty dorky post, but Dave and I are currently on the bus to Lima to Close our Peace Corps Service. This is my first time on the top of the line bus (see pic below) but it is AWESOME. The seat basically turns into a bed and there is Wireless f'ing internet! I'm stoked. ha! The stewardess just came by to ask if we wanted some wine before bed. We said yes. I was happy.
When Peace Corps offered us a one-way plane ticket home (from Peru) or the cash value of said ticket, Dave and I did some detective work (with the help of a map and a magnifying glass) and discovered that one could return to the United States by land! It was later determined that such a course could only result in the most Epic Adventure to date.
