Touchdown!

We have received word that our vehicle, Manuel, is waiting for us at port in Cartagena. Our plan is to arrive in Cartagena on December 26, spend December 27 sightseeing (as it is a Sunday and the port is closed), and start the importation process on December 28. We have been advised that this process will likely take two days, and we should have Manuel out of jail on the 29th, at which point we hope to start traveling immediately.

Our trip is officially underway on December 24, as I (David) fly into Palm Springs from Winnipeg. We will spend the 24th packing our gear and celebrating Christmas with the family, and are due to fly out of Palm Springs at 7:00 am on Christmas Day, arriving in Medellin, Colombia at midnight on the 25th. Only 8 more sleeps!
