This Christmas vacation instead of going skiing with her friends Super Girl is going to be stuck inside a small metal box for five or six days with her dad. We got the word yesterday that the Uruguay trip is a go, and we leave Saturday, or maybe Sunday, depending on whether SG’s Brazilian visa gets here on time, or any number of other possible delays, but the word is GO! With a destination finally nailed down I can finally start packing, and, be still my heart, help SG pack. That should be fun, I’ve already given her the thumbs down on a pair of shorts that appear to be missing the bottom six inches. Here’s the proposed route. I can change it once we get into Brazil because after we clear customs I can fly wherever I want, I’m the captain after all. OH CRAP! I’ve only got TWO DAYS to get my Christmas shopping done!
