a southern experience....

so i made it.

after an eventful morning in mexico i made it on the plane and flew off to mexico city and then onto san pedro sula. i think i need to give myself more credit as a traveller because i put myself into massive panic mode thinking i forgot both my camera and log books (the latter being integral to my entry to the idc program) but a huge sigh of relief was made when i ravaged my bags and found both, exactly where i had put them. first, the room. i not only had a room, i had four. that´s right, i had a suite, for 40 bucks. i definitely laughed as my little porter had to go over a list of at least 90odd check areas for the suite before i could settle in. and yes, i took a picture of said list to document the hilarity. i then found myself in a bit of a time warp. in mexico it was 10pm however in honduras (where i would have expected the same or later) it was 9pm. i am still perplexed but at least i´m gaining time rather than losing it. this morning, i dined on my free cornflakes and fruit and am now off on my taxi ride to el centro to find a bus to la ceiba (a four hour bus ride) to find my ferry at 4pm to utila. and then i will be home. so to speak. i feel really nervous but i know i am prepared but just need some time to settle i think that´s my issue right now, i don´t feel very settled. to be truthful, i haven´t felt entirely settled for awhile but i think it is only due to the fact that i am in an extremely transitory time in my life. continuing to challenge myself in apparently every way. even when dear oscar last night, my cabbie, told me how brave i was to come by myself to a strange country and not be completely comfortable with the language to do a course like scuba, i thought to myself, i guess this is kind of big. my friends and family continue to support me and tell me how proud they are of me which means the world. i love you all, and i´ll let you know how my journey pans out.
ciao. besos.
