When we were in San Blas last week, Erin and I changed the lyrics of “Leaving On A Jet Plane” by John Denver to make a Kalu Yala Spring 2012 farewell song. This is a video of us singing the song together one night, drinking margarita out of bowls.

All my bags are packed I’m ready to go
I’m standing here right by the door
I hate that it’s the time to say good-bye
–
All the valley days are memories
San Miguel, too with their cookies
One more shot of rum and I’ll be fine
–
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll write to me
The memories we have will have go
–
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
–
We’re leaving here as someone new
Most of us have learned some Spanish, too
All of us know how to say “Todo Bien”
–
Hispania is the city party
San Miguel is where we meet the peeps
The Valley is where the good shit really goes down
–
Besame y sonriame
Dime que me escribiras
Tenemos memorias siempre
–
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
I hate to go..
