Friday Jan 21-

Three flights today: Eugene to Seattle to Memphis to Miami. All were pleasantly on-time and on the third I even got my own exit row! One of those minor traveler’s victories. I carried the final dose of my live oral typhoid vaccines in a tiny styrofoam cup with ice refilled from plane drink carts.

At Miami I found Julie, my South America trip coleader, and we hit up a late-night Honduran restaurant. There was karaoke.

Jules was stoked.

Goodnight, Miami. Tomorrow: llegan los estudiantes!
