Well I am on the way

Just gave my landlord's manager two months' notice so I guess that makes it official. Barring misfortune or an unexpected offer of a dream job, I will be landing at MGA in late Oct. and this time I will be staying a minimum of six months.

Plan to drift around for the first couple of months, see as many regions as I can, and take as many Spanish immersion courses as I can fit in. Speaking of which, if anyone needs a home-sitter let me know.

After that I will go nuts unless I have work to do, so I hope to settle down in one place around X-mas and volunteer for a NGO.

At the end of six months we shall see whether I extend my stay.

Last time I was there was two years ago, which was a pointless business trip and I never got out of Managua, so for the next few weeks expect a lot of dumbass questions from me about the practicalities of travel and everyday life.

P.S. I notice I used the phrase "dream job" above, actually I think that is an oxymoron.
