Accidental Blog Meet

Check out Alex and Ombi at Very Itchy Feet as they cruise through the Americas and the Caribbean, making a short stop in Belize where they met two overly caffeinated, I mean cool girls, wearing fringe on the bottom of all their clothes named Jessica and Lee.Later that week we got to meet a few friends that were on vacation together and who also coincidentally worked for Typepad.
