Week Long Journey to Vilcabamba
... in my life. I am blessed.
After lunch, we drove to Miami, and Jim surprised me with a huge suite with another huge adjoining suite for my dad. It was beautiful! I wish I had time to use the Jacuzzi!
Uneventful morning on Monday, made it through security check without radiation, nice people in Homeland Security (believe it or not), managed to get 10 suitcases, 3 carry-ons, and 3 personal items all on the plane with only a $600 ...

Hitting the Trails in Vilcabamba
... provided us with a map of several highly recommended hikes and off we went! We hiked for about 4 hours, encountering streams, rivers, cows, and spectacular views along the way.
