Travel day almost over!
Finally! I have almost arrived at my destination (Cuzco) after 19 and a half hours travel time. Phew! My flight from Calgary to New York was easy peasy, a nice four and a half hour jaunt. I arrived in New York with plenty of time to take the AirTrain the wrong direction, get off one stop later, and turn right back around. Finding the check in counter for my LAN flight to Lima was quite the challenge, however I was still in the U.S. so the signs were in English, thank goodness. My LAN flight from New York was GREAT it somehow went by super fast (it was 8 hours) there was movies, video games, tv, TWO meals, huge leg room, however everyone spoke spanish. I luckily was sitting beside a girl from New York who was visiting family in Lima, so she was very fluent in both languages and translated for me :) Arriving in Lima was quite something. it was extremely foggy so we couldn't see the ground until about four seconds before we landed. As soon as I stepped off the plane I started SWEATING. It is so humid and about 20 degrees compared to minus 14 when I left Calgary! I am okay now that I am sitting and don't have all my bags though. One more flight, almost there!!!
