Last year I set 2009 as a year to take some time off, and therefore I’m taking off next week on a flight to Costa Rica, where I’ll meet my good friend from Mexico Chilón, and we’ll journey out the the southern Pacific Coast of CR and stay in a beachside house of friends that is west of Puerto Jimínez and close to the Panamanian border. There is surf right out in front of this house and the nearby tropical jungle has howler monkeys, exotic birds, snakes and crocodiles. Chilón has to go back to Baja in 2 weeks, at which time I plan to head south on a bus to Panama City, and make my way to Peru. I’m lugging along my MacBook laptop plus my new little Canon Powershot G-10 (15 MP!) and will post blogs whenever possible. I’m taking along watercolors and sketchbooks as I’ve long wanted to take the time to draw and try out watercoloring. It’s really easy to keep putting off something like this, with all the complexities of running a business in these very difficult times, so I planned for it and got a ticket. My email will be taken care of by people in the office and I’ll try to respond to anything that utterly needs my attention from the road. I’ll be gone for 6 weeks. If you check back here by say Feb 12-14th, there ought to be some postings from a gringo in the jungle.
Notice of Intent to Get Irresponsible and Go Surfing

Now how exactly are you planning to get back to 1999 for this?
I seem to recall that Peru is ayahuasca country, so maybe that could get you there.
