Off to Peruuu

So I am sitting at the airport, waiting to begin a looong day of plane rides. Well. Not really "waiting to begin," since I've been up since 3:45, so I guess it began 2 hours and 50 minutes ago. But waiting to start flying. I figured this was a good time to start my Peru blog. This trip won't be as long as my Euro Trip 2008, but it should be pretty spectacular...once I get out of the country, anyway...

I should be in Lima by 11:15 tonight. I'll meet Nicki at the airport and hope her Spanish saves me...though I do know enough to be polite! Buenos dias! Gracias! Como estas? Dondes esta! Amazing, for sure.

Then tomorrow morning we catch a 5:50 a.m. flight to Cusco, then we'll take a bus to the Sacred Valley and check out Pisac and Ollytaytambo (I probably spelled that wrong...I am too lazy to Google), then spend the night in Agua Calientes, then off to Machu Picchu! Here's hoping my body can handle the Andes and I don't get altitude sick. Speaking of, I should check out altitude sickness prevention. Should be interesting.

Anyway. That is all for now. I would like to thank my father for letting me borrow his netbook so I don't have to type all this on my iPod. Rock on, Dad! And Mom for making me coffee this a.m. since I am running on 3 hours of sleep. Wooooo!

Also, I am curious about my logic when I booked a window seat to Miami, then an aisle seat to Lima. Ummm...wha? I guess 'cause I figured it'd be dark on the way to Lima? Which is not really true...since I leave Miami at 6:45. Amyfail.

Au revoir!
