Spontaneous Plane Tickets

Some ideas are born over a hot cup of coffee in deep conversations, while others burst quickly into the mind on the toilet seat. Some ideas slowly grow like tree seedlings until they finally become something well formed and beautiful. Others come like the big bang like a big crash of lightening without warning. The idea of traveling to Panama came to me while we were walking from the supermarket to the bus stop in the stinky capital of Tegucigalpa. "I am tired of dust and projects," I told Steve. "We just finished the huge world map in the high school and it is a perfect time for a break now than ever."
"What are you trying to say?" Steve questioned, warily. "I am saying we should just escape.. we should just buy a plane ticket this week and go! Imagine, we could be in Panama city by the Panama Canal by the end of the week!"

And just imagine, today a week later, here we are in Tegucigalpa waiting to leave on a flight at 3 p.m. I can't believe that in just a few hours, we will be in Panama City looking for a hotel, exploring a different corner of the world!
