I will be flying into Managua towards the end of this month on a one way ticket with plans to stay for an undefined period of time. I figure no less than 3 months and possibly as long as 3 years.
I've sold off my remaining odds and ends like my major appliances and furniture, and my old car died on me last week. It feels like there's nothing left to hold me back.
I'd been down there now if not for my older sister having a baby in March and my little brother getting married on May 24th. I just couldn't miss those things.
I have a place to stay for a week or so upon arrival in Managua, but that's as far ahead as I've cared to plan. I figure that the process of finding a place and exploring will be a large part of the experience.
It's interesting thinking about my leap into the unknown as the date rapidly approaches. The anticipation is energizing. It's one thing to daydream about taking this kind of step, it's something else entirely to actually take it.
I look forward to joining you Nicaliving veterans in "the whole other country". I'm taking a digital camera, and I intend to make contributions to this site while I'm down there.
