Alcohol, Sleeping Pills, and Plane Flights = Bad Mix

Bueno! Estoy aqui en Nicaragua y todo esta perfecto. Nicaragua es muy bonita. Los volcanos son gigantes y es seguro que voy a subirlos!

So my red-eye flight flight to Nicaragua went well, though I found out just how dangerous sleeping pills can be! In the airport before I left Salt Lake, I grabbed a quick beer to settle myself down. My flight wasn't for about two hours so I figured that there would be enough time between taking a sleeping pill and drinking the beer (I know they say never mix them at all!). Anyway, I took the pill, and in the middle of the flight I might have passed out, ha! I got up to go to the bathroom and when I finally got there, stumbling a bit, everything nearly went black and the next thing I knew I was leaning against the bathroom wall. And amazingly no one heard or saw me despite the door being open! Let's just say I sat on the toilet for 10 minutes (and almost fell asleep) trying to pull myself together. I think it was not only the alcohol and Lunesta but also the fact that I had been sitting for two hours and all my blood had pooled in my legs.

But anyway, I got here alright and finally found out what I will be doing! But that may have to wait for another post.

PS: For those of you who know that me and traveling are a bad mix, I haven't lost ANYTHING yet! Keyword there may be "yet" . . .
