On June 13th 2009 I will make the longest Journey of my life.
I will fly from Heathrow to Lima in Peru.
That’s a 14hour flight all on my own and I have never even been to Heathrow Ai
rport.
The reason for this trip Is to meet up with Geoff and spend two weeks in Peru which will include walking the Inca Trail.
Once I have met up with Geoff in Lima we will make our way to Cuzco to meet up with Emily, who is doing some voluntary work there from April 1st.
Now you will be wondering where Geoff is off too.
Well on April 7th he is off on a three month trip which will include going to Costa Rica, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands before he finally meets me in Lima.
My emotions about this trip are all over the place, excited, scared , amazed,shocked,and also sad, sad at the thought of Geoff being away for 3 whole months.
Most of all I am very excited as I know this will be the most amazing trip for both of us.
Once he returns from Les Gets we have 2 months to get the trip planned , which will be a very exciting time.
awesome…I would love to do a trip like that.
It sounds like an amazing opportunity
You will have an amazing time..:-)
How exciting!
Just don’t wuss out of it – you’ll regret it forever!
would you like abag man what agreat life you are having . make the best of it .
It will be a wonderful adventure for you Sally. The trip of a lifetime.
i’m sooooooooo jealous!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, that does sound terrific. Can you not wangle a bit longer than a fortnight? A month would be so much better.
Flying alone is a luxury I envy you! When you set off just remember how much easier and relaxing it is than travelling with three small boys. Then you’ll feel fine.
Yep its very scary for me too. First time I will have left the mother country for more than 4 weeks
Also doing intensive Spanish lessons and living with a Costa Rican family is also scary – will I be like Peter or Svetlana (two of my recent lodgers to the un-initiated),
No need to worry about the flights though, yet to hear of any mugging etc on international flights
Also I worry about altitude sickness especially with my delicate stomach – could be fun chewing the cocaine leaves though
All in all pretty exciting though!
Yes I am a very lucky girl….
Reluctant blogger…. a month would have been fantastic but i am not complaining at 2 weeks…
Dad.. not sure you could manage our bags
Geoff.. my main worry is that you ( for some reason ) wont be there to meet me at Lima…that thought scares me to death
At last we know! I’d love to go to Peru [not walking, though]. You will have a wonderful time.
Now that sounds really exciting.. something to really look forward to!
I think it is fabulous and I know you will both have the most wonderful time.
Aw, and I thought you were getting married! Aw, well, a trip to Peru sounds good. Very exciting.
Sounds like a great adventure with yet more stunning scenery.
Must admit I was thinking along the same lines as Liz – a walk up the aisle, but Peru will be wonderful I am sure.
Liz and Caroline are you trying to scare Geoff to death… i want to keep hold of him not frighten him away
HUZZAH! HUZZAH! YIPPEEEE! I am so looking forward to hearing about every step of this! So proud of you! Go! Go!
