Writing...just because we now can
Hello to whoever is reading this...likely its the same few dozen that have been writing messages to us in the past few weeks...REALLY thanks for your interest and support..it is nice to know that other people find this as unique as we have found...that is travel to unkown places and try to describe as best as possible and perhaps inspire those to make it out here...since we will be traveling and hopefully updating this website regularly until the mid-end of May, it gives us some time to get the routine a bit more organized!
We want to update all the time but sometimes technology inhibits us and other times its the mere cost of doing it that may affect our decision..
Remember, this is just Paula and I (Jeffrey) taking a trip and trying to have you all follow along with us. We have pretty much budgeted to spend about 100 dollars a day and have been sticking very close to this...
It is in fact very hard to determine an amount of money because at times there are reasons to spend more for a tour, event, extreme sport, high flying activity, that extra beer, the special 'only found here' food, a fat bed to sleep in that is bug free, or occasionally the replacement of a misplaced (a.k.a. stolen) item...
-------------------------------+
SIDE NOTE: we have had 1 pair of men's trail Northface sneakers, 1 green EMS quick drying fabric t shirt, 1 Northface (red) quick dry zip up sport jacket, 1 Cannon digital camera, various kids toys and clothes, all somehow taken from us...
I just hope I can keep my laptop and the other cameras all safe over the next couple months!!
-------------------------------+
In the end our budget is only a guide but we do need to keep it in check...so hello to budget hotels and the "menu del dia" !!!
I write this to you as we do battle against killer mosquoitos, miniature roaches and a 3 inch spider that came up behind the bed in our 15 dollar hotel in Manaus, Brazil....hmmm .... maybe we don't skimp on the hotels all that much... huh??!!
