i am finally hitting the road again. it's been quite a while since i've left the country to go further than seattle! it will be nice to get some new stamps in the ol' passport.

on december 8th i will be heading down to cabo san lucas, in the baja california region of mexico. i have never been down there and i am very much looking forward to it. it looks quite different than any of the places that i have visited thus far and it will be great to visit a new spot in mexico. hopefully the weather will be fantastic and the tacos delicious. i'm also excited to go down there with a film camera (or 2 or 3? i need to control this obsession!) and shoot mexico through the (im)perfect lense of the holga (or the diana +, if it ever gets here!). and best of all: i will be there with my mom and will be able to enjoy all of it with her!

on december 28th, i will be heading down to texas, to spend some time with my boyfriend's family and discover a new area of the usa. oh, and of course, to fill up on bbq and tex-mex food! i'll also get to meet the (4+) family dogs, extended relatives, friends, the horses, etc... to be frank, it seems a bit overwhelming and i am quite nervous (yet excited) - but that's just silliness because i know that once i get there, it will all be fine. and fun!

i just hope that there's good movies on the flights!
