Day One (well sort of)

So I'm sitting here at the Atlanta airport (which is huge by the way) after paying my $7.95 to get on the internet. My flight is delayed about a half hour at the moment, although more delays are expected; therefore, I thought I'd take my first stab at this whole blogging thing. While I thought I wouldn't be speaking Spanish until I experienced a "wonderful" 10.5 hour flight, I ended up helping an older woman in a wheel chair who spoke no English at the gate in Louisville. She wasn't exactly the nicest lady but at least she got where she needed to go and understood why the Delta guy was trying to drag her onto the plane. Other than that, I think I'm ready to get on the plane and experience South America first hand. I'm sitting here listening to business guys on cell phones and Argentine families conversing in Spanish; it makes me want to travel more often.

I have no clue what my internet access options will be in Argentina, but hopefully I'll be able to "blog" on a regular basis.

More to come....
