South American Honeymoon – Here We Come!

I am beyond excited for tonight – the beginning of an adventure I’ve dreamed of since high school Spanish class!

Tonight  my pseudo-newly wedded husband and I will board a plane headed to La Paz, Bolivia where we will embark on a three week journey that will take us from the heart of Bolivia, through Peru and eventually on a 3-day trek on the Inca Trail to Machu Pichu. We are, of course, taking along various documentation equipment and are hoping to keep everybody updated as we go on this here blog.

Just to get started and a little context for our trip, here is our itinerary. Upon the suggestion of many friends who have made a similar journey, we have built in some wiggle room to our schedule to accommodate various curiosities, opportunities, and needs that arise along the way:

Dec 10: Overnight flight from JFK to Lima
Dec 11: Lima to La Paz
Dec 15: Bus and train (11 hours) to Uyuni salt flats
Dec 17: Bus (9 hours) to Sucre
Dec 20: Fly back to La Paz, toodle around Lake Titicaca
Dec 24: Show up in Cuzco
Dec 27: Hike the Inca Trail
Dec 30: Arrive at Machu Picchu, return to Cuzco
January 1: Fly to Lima, long layover
January 2: Arrive in JFK after overnight flight

Here’s hoping that next you’ll hear from me will be from the other side of the equator!
