With less than a day before our flight leaves from Chicago we are preparing with last minute check lists and final travel preparations. For the past three months we have had meetings to make sure we are ready for making the most of our 10 journey through the southern most state of Brazil. These have included a meeting with our Brazilian travel guide, Nadial, and also a meeting with a PhD student in Crop Sciences who we will visit on out trip. Other preparations have included discussing the trip with students who have taken the trip in previous years, researching destinations that we will be touring and reviewing the culture that willed be experienced while we are there.
When we land in Curitiba around noon on the 7th we will jump right into the expedition by touring Brazil's 7th largest city, with a little less than 2 million residents. It is located 65 miles from Paranagua Bay, which will be out destination on day three.
It is our goal to post updates on a daily basis, probably in the evenings, but will depend on computer availability at our hotels.
Hey, my dear Brazil Nuts! I hope you had a safe trip! I was very sorry to hear that Grant was not able to go on short notice.
