Where we are going:

We will be stationed in a small remote village called Quizarra. From what we understand there are about 340 people living there. We will be guests in the homes of the villagers. Locals say that it is dangerous to walk outside after dark, take a light to avoid stepping on the snakes. (kind of like walking into room of Returned Missionaries). For jobs will be machete wielding farmers.

Dining on rice and beans (and the occasional cabbage soup) will help us keep our girlish figures. Thank goodness there are no peanut M&M's to be had in the area. No technology is available within an hours drive by bus. No texting, no e-mails, no cell phones. HALLELUJAH!!!!

If we manage to avoid the slave traders, survive plague and famine, we are off to Rio Pacuare to ride the big, huge, monsterous "we could die" rapids. Lodging will be jungle lodges with hammocks.

Amber will silently be on the lookout to find a Carlos "man of love" to get her taste of latin drizzle. You may remember her Paris romance with a dread-locked drunk Jamaican last summer. She has set a goal of traveling the globe in search of exotic men and lasting memories. Sisterhood of Ambers traveling pants.

Briaunna's main goal will be to survive the trip on the hard-earned $100 bucks she has managed to work and save over the last year. This could mean no showers for 6 weeks (1 week longer than her current record) Fortunately she has been in "granola" training this last year by passing up to 5 weeks at a time without a cleansing drop of water touching her.

We will be posting entries telling of our travels as often as we can on this Jungle Love Tour. For the rest of this blog and trip we will be going by our latin code names of Lupita (Amber) & Juanita (Bri).

Stay green...hasta la vista. L&J
