I am beginning this on Thursday, November 15, 2012 as I struggle to prepare for a trip very different from my usual one. This time I fly to Miami and then on to Lima, Peru and then on to Cuzco which is surely one of the highest cities in the world. Perched atop the Andes Mountains at an elevation of 10,800 feet. Yes that is double the height of Denver and then some. They actually have oxygen bars there since the air is so rarefied. Our goal upon reaching this towering site is to spend two days in Machu Picchu which is the ancient Incan capital, and religious, and royal city.
I hope to be able to blog and to post and keep in touch since we will be staying in hotels and I think I will have internet.I don't have a 'bucket list' but if I did this would be on it! When we leave the Andes we hang out on the equator and play with the tortoises and the Blue Footed Boobies in the islands.
The 17 day trip will feature nine (9) flights, six (6) hotels, and one (1) ship! Like I say, not my usual thing but I know I am a lucky person to have the freedom and ability to enjoy all the adventures on which I embark!
