In the beginning...

So here's the start friends and family! I am officially "off" to Peru. Right now I'm experiencing a new phenomenon called Wi-Fi on an airplane! You heard it right folks I am on a flight to Atlanta and with my newly purchased 24 hour internet ticket I can sit here and write my first blog. Previously I wondered whether paying large sums of money for a small amount of internet was petty and all too American, but because I'm making a habit of staying in contact with ya'll and because I won't be seeing most of you in person for the next 10-11 months I figured I'd give in. The adventure has been interesting thus far, it feels like I'm going back to school! I'm landing in Atlanta which is a regular hub for Southern students to catch a shuttle and head back to "happy valley" Collegedale, Tennessee. Do you know what I find slightly ridiculous? Having to buy food on an airplane... That seems quite terrible to me. So far I've tried to call some friends to say goodbye. Of course I left this to the last minute because my name is Andrew Vizcarra and whoever knows me can tell you that "last minuteness" is implied when my name is mentioned. Did you know that one "implies" only if he or she is the one speaking or communicating. The others who are listening can "infer" or deduce from this comment. It's a fine line between "infer" and "imply" just remember that. So to all my friends and my family I LOVE YOU ALL. Thank you so much for your support, love, encouragement, and faith. You all mean more to me than you know. I'll be sure to keep everyone informed and hopefully entertained as my adventure unfolds. Hmmmm the cheese plate does look pretty tempting I must say.... maybe the Turkey Cobb sandwich?
