Hi Mom and Family!
I’ve made it to L.A. safely. I just finished eating breakfast here in the airport. My Airline doesn’t open it’s front desk for a while, so I’m stuck here out in the lobby area for now. I’ll attempt to entertain myself for a few more hours as it’s only 8:50am and my flight doesn’t depart until 1:30pm. So over the next 5 hours I may possibly die of boredom, but we’ll see. For now, I think I’ll save my battery until I’m REALLY bored (like in a few hours). I’ll let you know how my flight to Lima, Peru goes. Transferring my luggage in between Lima and Cuzco is going to be a pain. So for now, this will be a “To be Continued!!”...
Hey! I’m on the airplane right now heading to Lima. I’m not sure, but I think we’re a little less than 3 hours away from landing. This is by far the nicest plane I have ever been on. I know I haven’t been on many planes, but this is so nice! I have my own personal T.V. screen with games, movies, T.V. episodes, music, radio, airline info, and some other stuff. It is so very fancy. There was a very nice man sitting next to me but his brother is also on this flight in another section, anyway, there was an empty seat next to his brother, so he went up there. So I have had two seats to myself, and it’s been a pretty luxurious flight. The view has been amazing! I’m so glad I have a window seat. The clouds over the ocean are amazing, and I saw the most beautiful sunset! I took pictures but they hardly do it justice. So far everyone that has talked to me on this flight (passengers and flight attendants) have assumed I speak Spanish, so I guess I look like I speak Spanish. No worries, by the time I’m flying home I’ll really be understanding what they’re saying! It’s been a good flight but very long. Over 8 hours is too long to be on a plane. I’ll let you know how it goes on the next flight and with meeting Micheal at the airport. So, until then....
I am now in the Lima airport. Wow, that was a long flight. I’ve discovered that most the people here that think they know English, really only know Spanglish. But it’s not too bad because I can still get what they’re saying. Even the people who don’t speak English at all, I can understand most of what they say with gestures and stuff, which is a little comforting. I’m attempting to get internet right now in the Wi-Fi section of the airport, but it’s not really working. Oh well, I will have internet access tomorrow. A moment ago there was a cute little brown kid following me around. My that I mean he was like in his 20’s, but these Peruvian people are pretty little. He kept trying to sit kind of by me but I kept moving to try and get internet access, then he gave up and went away. It’s ok, he probably didn’t speak English anyway. And as cute as his smile was, he looked like a punk. It is about 2:00am right now, so that’s 1:00am Utah time. I’m not tired at all though, I slept on the flight here. Surprisingly enough the food was pretty good. But then again, that was a pretty fancy-dancey plane. I made it through customs and everything okay, I was a little concerned about that because I didn’t know what half the forms I was supposed to fill out said. After name, flight number, and passport number, I didn’t really get the rest. But no worries, everything went very smoothly. I don’t really know where I’m supposed to be right now. I technically don’t have a flight gate I guess, but I don’t know where I’m supposed to be either. That’s okay, I’ll figure it out later. They don’t start boarding until 4:45am anyway. Right now I’m sitting next to a very nice man who is also trying to get internet, but we’re both failing. He doesn’t speak English, but we’re still managing to communicate a little bit. Well, there’s still not a whole lot to tell, I’m mostly just writing because I’m bored and kind of sick of flying/being in an airport. It’s been an experience. I still don’t know if being in Peru hasn’t hit me yet, or if it has and I’m just really calm about the whole situation. Either way, I kind of like that no one is speaking English to me. This is a fun, and new experience. Well, I’m going to find something else to do because I really just don’t have that much to say right now. But no worries Mamma, I’m safe. Love you all! And I’ll write again soon....
Oh my goodness! I’m here! I’m at Rosanna’s house right now, it’s 7:15 in the morning and I’m about to go down and have some tea and bread for breakfast. Cuzco is an amazing city. It’s different than I was expecting. I think it’s finally starting to hit me, that I’ll be living in a 3rd world country for the next three months. drivers here are a little crazy, but I think I was expecting that. Micheal y Rosanna picked me up from the airport and we took a taxi here to Rosanna’s house where I will be staying. There are a lot of stray dogs here, that eat all the garbage off the street. I’m sure Kimi would love it, because they’re all very big dogs and very friendly, if you have food that is. Well, they’re expecting me down stairs. I am here and safe Mamma, I’ll write again tomorrow I’m sure! And perhaps we can even Skype tomorrow!
