Two Days to Go

before all these shananigans (sp?) get started.
This blog is to let me give written updates as to what I'm doing throughout the trip. I'll describe the things we see and the people we meet. I'll also talk from time to time about poker, gambling theory, and different ideas that I've been having. Mostly though, it'll be the front-to-back story of a normal guy who won some money and is now going to blow it in the name of being young.

So far I have:
-Bought plane tickets across the U.S., into Costa Rica, from Costa Rica to London, and from Rome to Portland.
-Bought a dope backpack and all kinds of supplies
-Figured out both my video camera, my digital camera, and my video editing software
-Made a facebook group to document the trip with videos and photos
-Visited Seattle for Adam's 21st and saw John Legend, Lupe Fiasco (sucked), and Wu Tang live. Tonight I'm probably seeing Girl Talk and Ghostface (again).

Now I need to line up contact info for all my friends we'll be seeing across the world and actually pack my bags.

Then, first stop:
Monday, Sept 10: Los Angeles

By the way-- if you have any sweet tips about traveling through Costa Rica, any advice on whether to use buses, trains, or planes in Europe, or any favorite locations throughout the European continent, send them my way at andrew.seidman@dartmouth.edu

Good luck and talk to you soon,
Andrew
