With my one small backpack, a book tucked under my arm and my wonderful Mr. Hudson I will take off for Nicaragua Tuesday morning at about 6am.
Tomorrow I leave for D.C. (sorry Renee I don't think I'll be able to see you when you get into town) to meet up with my love.
We fly out Tuesday and arrive in Managua at 12:55pm from there, hopefully, Jorge will be waiting for us to buy cheap cell phones and drive us down to his parent's beach house in San Juan Del Sur. This area is suppose to have some of the best surfing around, though I'm not into surfing, it helps me believe the beaches are probably pretty nice as well.
We'll stay in San Juan Del Sur through the 1st and then head out to Ometepe Islands where we'll hang out on our own for the next 3 days or so before leaving for Granada. The Ometepe Islands are two small conjoined volcanic islands with nice hiking and apparently decent beaches, though they've gotten mixed reviews.
Granada's going to be the most expensive part of our trip, as far as places to stay and such so we'll be staying here for the least amount of time before flying back to the states.
I've been trying to convince Matt of doing only one touristy thing and that's the canopy tours-- we'd be riding down Ziplines for about 45 minutes and it'd cost $30US/person... I know its a steep charge in comparison to our other expenses but I feel like it'd be so much fun!
