...'tis gonna be a super-duper-great trip
...can *feel* it in my bones

FIRST-thing,
after booking my flight
i emailed my Ja-mentor
...to let 'em know '.soon-come.'

and, to-see if she still wanted me to bring some from-foreign Spam

..prefers '.from-foreign.' 'cause it's more-salty-er (i.e., taste better(?)) than Jamaica's Spam
