indeed it does. let me tell you cats and kittens how this blog is going to work. basically, since i've had to read all ya'll stupid travel blogs over the years i've decided to retaliate by making my own now. marion says that this is "selfishly motivated" and that travel blogs are "lame." therefore, out of spite, this blog will center around marion as the trip's protagonist (honestly, kids, who am i kidding? i'm definitely the sancho panza to her don quixote-- really just here for comic relief) and will be written by me. i have the (digital) "camera that shall not be scratched" (thanks, dad) and marion has the real camera with which she will take heartbreakingly beautiful photographs on honest-to-goodness film, but which you won't get to see until we come back (i know you're all waiting with bated fucking breath). so anyway-- we're about to head out for SFO (is that the right abbrev. for san francisco airport???) and we're gonna arrive in heathrow at some goddamn time, i guess. we've got xanax for the flight and i think marion selected the "hindu" meal option (god bless virgin atlantic) but she's not even a vegetarian anymore so really she could've gone with anything.
if you want a goddamn postcard send me your address and i'll put smooches all over it and whatnot.
bon voyage
I cannot goddamn wait to hear your voice narrating these adventures. Good luck! And let's co-ordinate a skyping so I can send you your mix! Hi Marion!

hallie this is the only travel blog i have ever wanted to read mainly because it's not written like this: "today was so touchingly beautiful. On my treck up the ;lkasd;lfakjsdf mountain, a small group of children carrying baby lambs stopped to hand me their favorite bouquets and we danced, gently, up the path until I came upon an old temple..." BLABLABLA
this trip is going to be awesome to read about if only because you are the scribe.
