My very good friend from grad school is getting married Jan 12, 2008! Scott, Sofia, and I are packing up the stroller, diapers, formula, desitin, sunscreen, fancy outfits, and some beach clothes and we are heading out on jan 9! This will truly be an adventure on many fronts: its our first trip to South America, first plane trip with Sofia, first swim for Sofia (Caribbean!), and first wedding with Sofia, fun! This will be a good test and “launch and learn” for all future plane trips with Sofia - I am sure we will overpack some stuff and underpack or forget others - wish us luck!

We will be hanging out in the Old Town of Cartagena de Indias in Colombia which has some of the most beautiful Spanish colonial architecture in all of South America - and best part is - we are on the Caribbean sea! Cartagena is a UNESCO world heritage site in the Americas. We will be visiting Isla de Rosarios for the day, which will show us coral reefs with turquoise, blue, and even purple water!

Our friends have a web site set up for the wedding, but worth posting since the information on Cartagena and Columbia is invaluable. Take a looksee.
