FLIGHTS ARE BOOKED! AHHHHHH!
Bob and I got together last night and finally bought our plane tickets to Cuzco. It was beyond frustrating. Every flight that we chose suddenly became "unavailable." Why even post the flights if it's not even available? It got to a point that we simply glanced over the itinerary, and clicked Submit. After 6 attempts, we FINALLY got through and our flights were booked! Thank goodness.
Our flight:
Leaving JFK airport in New York on Saturday, March 1 at 6:40 am (oh boy...). We arrive in Bogota, Colombia around 12:30 pm, then have a 5 hour layover. Our flight from Bogota leaves around 5:45, and arrives in Lima, Peru at 8:40. After 9.5 layover in Lima, we will arrive in Cuzco at 7:30 am on Sunday, March 2. It's definitely going to be a loooong 24 hours, but we can catch up on sleep on the plane and when we get to the volunteer house.
It didn't really hit me until today that I'm actually going. We bought the tickets late last night, and I was just tired so the excitement wasn't completely there just yet. But today, I kept doing more and more research for it (restaurants in Cuzco, the best Inca Trail packages, where is the volunteer house located), and I couldn't help but be extremely excited. However, I need to just relax and let everything just happen. That's when all the magic will happen.
Next thing to book: Inca Trail up to Machu Picchu!
