Going to Bahia….

Yes, yes, yes.....

I'm going to Bahia, with a brief stop in Rio and a trip to Pernambuco.

Brazil, here we come.

Since the girl of my dreams has finished her Masters degree and is now officially an engineer, AND has landed a dream job in a difficult market, we're off to celebrate.

It was a simple decision. The best beaches in the world, amazingly friendly people, a chance to go hiking in Chapada Diamantina, and off-season prices that are payable. The dream vacation.

Here's the rationale leading to us going to Brazil for a 3-week vacatiuon.

a) let's celebrate that Signe finished her masters with an amazing project, and landed her dream job.
b) we love to travel in exotic places
c) I've always wanted to see Olinda, because that's where my oldest brother met his wife
d) While I've been to Brazil before, I haven't spent much time in the North-East, and Signe has never been.
e) Since Signe has been a student for most of her life, and I have been starting up a grassroots business focusing on the cash-strapped area of ICT for Development, we have absolutely no money
f) let's spend the rest of the money we don't have and worry later.

It's true what they say, Be Happy, Don't Worry... And I am :-)
