Planning the trip

Can't wait to go adventuring with you, sugarpie!

Since my ankle's still injured, it's suits us to spend time at the cabin planning the big trip. We've piled up with Lonely Planet - books, reading and of course marking the good stuff - with colour codes!
We're especially looking up the facts on scuba diving and surfing. None of us have tried surfing before, so it'll be a blast! I don't have the divers licence, but Ronny have the advanced grade. We're so stoked, both hoping to be so lucky that we get to swim with a whale shark. It seems like Cancùn  can give us this experience, even though we're more likely to get a glimpse of them in June than in January - March. But it would have been amaazing! We both have a deep love for animals and nature, and the animal life in all the countries we're going to are told to be rich and full of surprices.

Another task is booking a spanish class here in Norway before we go. Everyone we've been talking to have adviced us to do so, since spanish are more common than english in most of the places we're going. We were a bit unlucky with the timing, because the same day Ronny e-mailed a local school about upcoming courses, a new one just started. So we have to wait until next class begins. That being said, we HAVE actually tried to learn spanish on our own. It resulted in a broad knowledge of colours, body parts and swearing, so we may have to broaden those phrases (^.^)

I also discovered good news about the food in Jamaica. Me being a vegetarian can sometimes cause trouble at certain places, but Jamaica is know for their own diet called Ital (as in "vital"). It origins from the vegan rastafaries all over the country, abandoning meat and all artificial components. Good news for me, and Ronny can still get his meaty stuff, prepared in delicious ways. In Nicaragua, I have to prepare to live on beans and lentils to get my proteins, besides from fish. But hey, a little gassy-fun just brightens our mood, or what? (^_^)

Lifesavers - Oluf wonders if he can come along
