11/12/00 – Seattle, WA The Beginning
Hello, hello, once again,
I know that a lot of you have not heard from me for a very long time. I am very sorry about that. I've been in hibernation for the last eight months, on a very isolated steamboat. To those of you who I've lost contact with, I'm very sorry, and although I may have not been communicating with you, I have not forgotten you.(not yet) Anyway, I am a few short days away from once again starting on a journey. This time, to south america. There is a difference between this trips, and trips in the past, as that during this trip I will be doing as little work as possible. Now I, know most of you are saying to yourselves, "I don't see any difference". But this time I will not actually be holding a job as I travel.
Allrightythen. For those of you who haven't been paying attention in the last few months let me give you a bit of a background on the story that is about to take place. (Remember, if any of this, or any following messages, bore you, DON'T READ THEM. Just hit the delete box without even opening the message, like I've been doing with most of you lame-o group emails. However if you do find them at least slight bit interesting, and happen to respond I will try to respond back, in a if not prompt, but leisurely manner.) Anyway, where was I. (scroll up) Right background. For the last eight months I have been working on the American Queen,(THE STEAMBOAT, get your head out of the gutter) trying to make enough money to take a trip to south america, for at least 4 or 5 months. In this task, I'm pretty sure that I have been successful. Along the way, on the boat, I met a lot of cool people, however, none more important to my future than Kevin Pile, and Jessica Morris. Kevin Pile, is a kid from Brewster, WA,(where??) who I've somehow convinced to come along with me to south america. He is super cool, and I know will be a perfect traveling companion. Whether he is naive, or cunning, for listening to me is yet to be seen. Jessica Morris, is a girl from Pratville, Alabama.(where are you finding these people?) who has fallen in love with me, and I vice versa. Those of you who know me already know me know that the verdict came in on her long ago, on the cunning or naive question. But it's OK, we can't all be wolves. Anyway, here's the deal. Jessica, and I leave for Mexico City on Wednsday the 15th of November, and we'll take either a train or a bus for playa de carmen for the 19th. Those of you who know the story of what happened last year at this time in playa del carmen, might ask why I would risk going back there. It just so happens that I was on the internet one day, and oops I bid on a five day all inclusive vacation to playa del carmen in a e-auction or whatever. I wasn't expecting to get it, but these things happen. Anyway, so the lovely miss jessica and I will be spending five days there and then she will be flying home, and Mr Kevin, will arrive and our adventure will start.
OK for those of you who are still with me, I appreciate your patience, as I know this is a longer than normal email, but I figure while I still have free email at my mom’s house, and I have a few beers in me what the hell. Y'all will be hearing much more from me in the future. Hasta la pasta Moe
