The day before. Dun dun dun

I am leaving for Ecuador tomorrow --Excited, yet nervous. I have many requests from co-workers and friends. I must return with a goat for Kat, try not to get stuck in the midst of a coup, avoid Ecuadorian naval projects (for fear of piracy), and to try and avoid yellow fever, malaria, and other foreign ailments/diseases that may kill me.
I will land in Quito, Ecuador at 8:00 tomorrow night where my brother in law will be there to pick me up (hopefully). I am very nervous about this part because I don't speak ANY spanish and will have to go through customs and all that crap. I just want Javier to appear as I exit the plane so I don't get lost. After that...we will embark to Gualaquiza Ecuador, the village where my sister, my nephew, Javier and his family live. That, I believe, is something like a 15 hour bus ride across the country...Should be very interesting.
So, in sum, I have no idea what I am getting in to, or what to expect. I am just so excited to see my sister and meet my little nephew, Aiden! And it doesn't hurt to have 2 weeks off from work.
Stay tuned...
