Done.

Now give me a drink. With an umbrella, please. After finishing the last week of classes and meetings, some last minute data entry, two final papers, a couple of Fuller functions, a round of revisions for my proposal, and some hardcore housework...I can finally look forward to a trip. We leave in 30 minutes. Nothing like working up until the last minute!

So, if you don't mind, I will now excuse myself and spend the next week hiking around rain forests, taking advantage of the spa part of our "adventure-spa" lodging, taking a billion pictures, making some fantastically huge turtles my new pets (I'll shall name one Oscar), and trying not to get in the way of the active volcano.

Adios!
