MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!! Santa (and a few of the Capozzola elves) was VERY good to us this year, bringing us tons of amazing goodies for our travels including a travel backpack for Jon, a GoPro with all the fixings, a nook, and LOTS of other awesome travel goodies (read: sunscreen, Deet, pain killers, bandaids, Pepto, etc. etc. and passport holders (thanks Aunt Marion!)).

We had a great time celebrating with Jon's grandparents (Hi Kurt and Eleanore!), Aunt Marion, her boyfriend, Jason, and Jon's cousins, Alex and Dean (hey all!) We spent time hanging out, playing pool and Cards Against Humanity, and stuffing our faces with pasta, prime rib, potatoes, sweet potatoes (good job, Alexandra :)), and SO MANY COOKIES AND CHOCOLATES. Our meals the past few days have definitely been an excellent send off from US food for a while!

It's been wonderful spending time with everyone but I'm definitely getting SUPER antsy about our travels. It's been hard coordinating with several tour companies and guides and hotels and AirBnB hosts to confirm everything when you have an 8 hour time difference. I know everything will be fine in the end, it's the build up that kills me more than anything else! Looking forward to flying off into the friendly skies in just TWO DAYS!!
