    Going on vacation!

    I figured I'd post this since I will be away for quite some time...

    On June 13th, I leave for San Andrés island, located off the coast of Nicaragua in the Caribbean, to live and work for the next 4 months. I am working with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Coralina on their respective websites, as well as helping maintain the ecosystem of the islands.

    When I am in Providencia, I plan to help gather vital supplies needed at the local hospital on the island which is in dire need of any and all supplies. My dad and I are hoping we can get them there with little hassle, but it remains to be seen.

    I may return later than 4 months, or stay and go back to school, as there is a college on the island itself.

    I may visit Jamaica before I return as well.

    When I return I am working with my dad on converting two old Mercedes diesel cars to run on vegetable oil! Hopefully I will inherit a 300CD and do some custom stuff since it will be much easier to pay for vegetable oil and diesel! :up:

    After that, I'm heading to California next summer of 2009. Obviously some things may change my plans, but that is how my summer is ending up, hence the new sig. :(

    I will miss my E30 dearly, I went 12 days without it and I was going nuts! Anyways I'll be on here less, but I'm sure I'll post every once in awhile...

      Good on ya, Dan!

      Sounds great. Jamaica is awesome - and no, I don;t just mean resorts and beaches Jamaica. The whole island is amazing - and the people are great. Get some Blue Mountain coffee while you are there.

        The Jamaica part of my trip is tentative, I have a friend who lives there and she was nice enough to offer a place to stay while I was there, so I may take her up on that at some point in time!

        It sucks because I had a lot of plans for the car that are now on hold. When I return expect that big change I was talking about!

              Jamaica for 4 months? Don't forget to pack some condoms - I'm sure there will be some single tourist ladies looking for a memorable trip ;-)

                  Haha not just Jamaica either...San Andrés has many tourists, mainly German and Canadians oddly enough.

                  I just finished installing my side mirror delete plate too. I am really gonna miss that damn car.

                        So I'm bored at work and I just Google Earth'd the island, and I must say, I hate with with every inch of my body :) You get to spend the next 4 months in an island-fucking-paradise.
