Surprise!

"If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens." ~ Fay Weldon ~


Surprise, Anna! Guess what? You're going to Peru! Also, you leave on March 3rd instead of March 4th!

Yet another example of the Universe teaching me to be flexible. I imagine this lesson will be repeated ad naseum throughout my trip!

After visiting the travel clinic and receiving the required Cipro prescription and vaccinations (Flu and Typhoid, just in case) I headed over to STA travel. I was there to collect my tickets and to try and secure a flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia on March 6th. It was there that I was surprised to learn that I was NOT in fact leaving on March 4th and that my layover in Lima was just a bit longer than a few hours. The ticket is for March 3rd and I have a day and a half in Lima, Peru! Although I was a bit disconcerted and confused (as were the travel agents), I've decided that I am just meant to visit Lima. Lynda at STA booked me a nice hotel in the city center of Lima, and I'm hoping to visit the Pachacamac ruins outside of the city. Lynda also found a fabulous $130 flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, will the one small caveat of departing at 5:50 am.


So March 3rd, folks. Let the adventure begin.
