DLJ: Wednesday night we left for MIA and boarded a midnight flight for Lima. Unfortunately the plane was totally packed, so it was a little difficult to get any sleep. I spent part of the time reading "A Voice in the Wind," which is quickly becoming one of my favorite books. I convinced Joyce to take up Steinbeck´s "East of Eden" which was a sub...

more infos and photos at my site (www.msereno1970.com/peru/en/peru.html) . I've been dreaming of a trip to Peru since I was a kid and eventually succeeded in organizing it in summer 2007 with my wife but just a couple of weeks before our departure we found out we were expecting a baby!! After the obvious surprise and happiness about the not expe...

Yes two weeks doing not much in Lima. After the bus ride back to Lima we figured we'd stay for a while and recharge our batteries. Lima is an interesting place and after the obligatory rate negotiation we thought why not stay and maybe head north at a later date. They gave us a six bed dorm room to ourselves and after a couple of days of sleepin...

It would have taken me less time to get to New Zealand I swear. Arrived safe and sound after a 28 hour journey, with little sleep. First time ever I had a lad at the airport wait for me with a card with my name (Michael "Clisse") on it, compliments of the hostel. Compliments in so far as they arrange it and I pay for it. ********** now to explor...

Well I guess the Tango is really for Argentina, but Lima is a city of contrasts. Lima is known as the City of Kings, but it is also the city of handsome men in the ¨Latin Lover¨mold, beautiful women with long dark hair, all wearing jeans and high heel boots. There is much squalor here, but the new mayor has been on a campaign to clean up the cit...

Well another adventure has come and gone. As usual it seemed like it went by way to fast. So get out there and just travel somewhere! We met loads of poeple who had been traveling for months in Central and South America, and they all loved it. A country who was always on everyones favorite list was Colombia. I want to go! I just want to impress ...

Sean here: In time I´ll post something on here about the Galapagos and Ecuador, but right now I´m a bit tired. It´s currently 3:45am and I´m still awake. Jeannie and I flew in last night from Quito to Lima and have a 6:05am flight to Cuzco. If you google "sleeping in Lima airport", you´ll learn that just about everyone traveling in South America...

The day begun fairly normal. Checking emails, having lunch with Bernd and meeting Julie later on in the city for a drink. However, the feeling of having to leave was quiet strange to me. And indeed, when the taxi driver picked me up at 4pm it was very sad saying goodbye to my friends with whom I had such a good time in BsAs and Argentina. Howeve...

Our second assault on Lima was tragically meet with a vicious crime against Lukey. A sneaky little bugger managed to swip his bag in the bus terminal only after a cheaky wave to the survalance camera which uselessly captured the fateful moment. As a result of losing a camera, cash and passport we were doomed to spend yet another night in Lima, a...

Well today started off early...or actually I dont think there ever was a start! Homes(Carrie) flew in from Calgary to Toronto on thurs night and it has been nonstop ever since! Homes(Laura) and I picked her up at the airport with a huge sign and a flower leigh yelling and embarassing her and welcoming her to Toronto! From the point we picked her...
