White Christmas?!

Christmas 2011 was my first snow-less Christmas. It was also the first Christmas Eve I've spent waiting in line at a 7-11 for a case of water! Just around the time everyone started washing dishes on Christmas Eve, the water in all of Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas dried up. A 42 inch main burst and apparently Fort Lauderdale doesn't have a back-up. Once the water came back on again, it wasn't potable for days. It was awesome prep for my upcoming four months in Central and South America!

I enjoyed the holiday season with my brother in Fort Lauderdale. We had an amazing Christmas Day dinner prepared by my brother's friend LauRen and ate poolside. It was a perfect, "bug-free" celebration!

I treated myself to a Christmas present of wetones, ziplock baggies, DEET, toilet paper, etc...as you can see. I'm getting really excited about going South!

Next up, New Year's in Atlanta with Butch and Maria. I leave today....more pictures to come.

Happy New Year's!
