Woot!  Woot!  Today I asked my boss (again) if I could take a leave of absence.  I can’t say it gets any easier for me, but for him he’s become accustomed to it and just laughed after my request as if he was almost expecting it.  The laugh, being a good thing, means Rach and I can start making full commitments to everything we’ve been wanting to do in the winter!

Right now we plan on spending January-February in Chile studying Spanish and interning with local organizations.  Rach is going to work as an English teacher and I in the area of computers.  After that we plan on traveling for the month of March in Chile and Argentina.
