I'm leaving, on a jet plane...

Today's "Milestone" is on time! It definitely was a mad dash at the last minute there to get everything ready (for reasons outside of my control). Not ideal on these sorts of expeditions, but what can ya do? They made me dump out about two thirds of my silica gel (that will keep my equipment dry in the Amazon's high humidity), and my only easily-accessible phone charging cable decided that today was the day that it would die (luckily they sell those at the airport), but other than that, everything at the airport has gone well. Peru, here I come! Thanks again to all of my backers who made this possible.

Cheers,

Nick

 

Greetings from Vancouver International Airport. In this photo, I'm waiting for the flight for the first leg of my journey down to Puerto Maldonado, Peru. If I look sleep-deprived, that's because I am!
