there’s 2 ways to get to el salvador from hawaii. one is HNL to LAX to SAL. that is the short way. i took the long way HNL to ATL to SAL. flew through some time zones, then back. maybe that’s why i’m so jet lagged?

i’m becoming a professional when it comes to traveling. been doing it for so long so i better know what i’m doing. nobody is there to guide me, i’m a one man team so if i screw up, i’m screwed up.

finally arriving at my hotel was rewarding. i’m staying at one of the nicest places here. it’s just so clean, so beautiful, and so cheap.

$65/day is very expensive for el salvador standards. stayed here for 2 nights so going to downgrade into something normal for the rest of my stay.

Pilsener is the el salvador national beer. taste super good and it’s only $1.50 a bottle. this past weekend had an election so you couldn’t drink alcohol in the whole country for 3 days. so when i came the first day of drinking again, everybody was looking for the first night in 4 to get a cold beer again. it was a party all night long. so funny!
