THERE ARE NO PHOTOS FOR THIS PART OF THE TRIP, AS IT WAS A MUNDANE FLIGHT FROM SAN DIEGO TO DALLAS. A PROJECTED 3 HOUR LAYOVER IN DALLAS TURNED INTO 4 DUE TO A NEED TO REBUILD THE AIRCRAFT, THEN A 7 HOUR FLIGHT TO LIMA. THEY MUST HAVE PUT THE PLANE BACK TOGETHER CORRECTLY, AS THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS ON THE WAY.
OUR GROUP ENCOUNTERED A YOUNG (15 YR OLD) EXCHANGE STUDENT ON THE WAY TO LIMA WHO HAD SUFFERED A CANCELLED FLIGHT AND DID NOT HAVE ANYONE TO MEET HERE IN LIMA. THE GROUP PREVAILED ON YVONNE TO FIND HER ASSISTANCE AT THE AIRPORT IN LIMA SO SHE WAS TAKEN CARE OF.
WE ARRIVED ONLY 20 MINUTES LATE, HAD VERY FEW PROBLEMS WITH CUSTOMS (BRINGING MORE THAN 5 ROLLS OF FILM INTO THE COUNTRY COSTS A BUNDLE). THERE WAS A MINOR MIXUP IN THE LUGGAGE WHEN CAROL PICKED UP LAURAINE S ROLLAROUND BY MISTAKE, BUT THAT GOT SORTED OUT. WE ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL ABOUT 1:30 IN THE MORNING PERU TIME (2 HOURS AHEAD OF SAN DIEGO).
LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW!
