Pre-trip post

So I've decided to write a blog for my South American trip. Hopefully I'll keep it up not only to update people to what i'm up to, but also as a record for myself.

Apparently I am not the first person to use blogspot and I had to chose a unique name for the URL. I chose "The Idea Recorder" for a name because there weren't many options left and on the off chance I really like blogging and I want to continue when I get back.

So tomorrow I am leaving Vancouver airport at 11am, flying into Houston and then flying to Buenos Aires. The total flight time should be about 15 hrs, which is much longer than I thought. Okay check back soon for an exciting post.
