Update on plans. Read this if you want to know where I'll be at.

So the boat I'll be sailing on is leaving Cartagena, Columbia for the
Dominican Republic tomorrow. They'll arrive in Santo Domingo in
about a week.

I'm planning on leaving on Monday. Was hoping to leave tomorrow, but
it got tricky. I'll be leaving early Monday ÅM on a ferry to the
mainland, crossing Puerto Rico in little van busses (publicos) and
going to the Dominican Republic on this crazy party ferry. It has a
casino. I'm really into varying the kinds of transportation in this
trip, so ferry -> several little vans -> quasi-cruiseship is a
satisfying combo in this regard. And I'm pretty sure it's the
cheapest way I can get there from here.

I'll start the sailing voyage in about 10 days (this is a guess).
Then I'll probably decide within one or two weeks whether I want to
stay in Rio or cross the Atlantic to Tanzania. Beyond that, it
wouldn't make sense to predict. Hope you're all doing great. And
big ups to everybody who hustled to get a package down to me (Thanks
N, NS, K, T, H!). It is received and in good order.
