Oh seriously? HAHA, I said the most random BS answer as a sarcastic reply. I guess if astrophysics and engineering don't pan out for me, I can always fall back on being a rocket scientist [LOL]

Good for you to get your heart in better shape. [Awesom]

Wait a minute, somethings DEFINITELY wrong with that airfare, just priced it out directly from American Airlines and its only $2k round trip from nearest airport to final destination...

I just booked my next trip. Back to FL end of the month.

Hopefully, this time I won't be sick.

That's not gonna be good for the blue-hairs during drive time.

Yeah, rocket science really isn't that complicated... The phrase "it's not rocket science, you know" is from back in the days when we were still trying to figure it out and every other rocket would blow up on the launch pad.

United

Den-LAX-Panama-Santiago $1,459
Den-HOU-Pan-Santiago $1,926
Den-Orlando-Pan-Santiago $4,297
Den-IAD-Pan-Santiago $4,383

Once a year, my wife brings up doing a mission thing for the hospital she works at. They cover in country expenses and pay her salary, but we'd have to foot the travel bill and I'd be mostly fawked for work unless I had good intarwebz and had some remote projects.

South America, African continent mostly from what I understand. IIRC, it's a 3-6 month gig.
