I'm outta here

After a few months of planning and nearly missing my ride to the airport, I sit here in the awaiting my flight. In just under 24h from now I'll be in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I moved out of my apartment this past Sunday and I'll be in Argentina for the next 3 months. The whole trip seems a little surreal, to be honest, even after checking out of my apt and sitting here in the international departures area of YVR, it /still/ doesn't seem like anything is really changing. The past week has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride in terms of being both excited for the trip and sad to be leaving Vancouver... of course, leaving Vancouver on Nov 1 to head into summer in Argentina isn't something I'll be complaining about ;-)

As a quick side note... starbucks hot chocolate still totally sucks.

For anyone that wants to get ahold of me while I'm out of the country, you can call - 604-248-4875. I won't be answering my regular cell number, this is an VOIP number that I'll be forwarding to wherever my cell is. Don't send text messages there :).

While I'm in Argentina I'll still be working full time for NowPublic. I've really been enjoying the work I'm doing there and I'm pretty gratefull that they've let me continue my position while I'll be remote. Since the majority of people that I'm managing work remotely from Europe anyway, and my boss is in New York, I'm confident that things will continue to work smoothly.

I'll be living with Sam while I'm down there and hopefully learn some Spanish too.

A quick tip before I head out... drinking all of what remains of your "good" booze the night before a 4:30am trip to the airport is not recommended. Both me and Scott slept through an alarm for 20 minutes and a phone call :).

I'll try to keep my blog updated while I'm down there, but realistically you'll probably have better luck following my flickr feed.

I'll see y'all in February.
