Air Trekking!

I think everyone is ready to get home!   Its been a long, tough adventure. Our flight from Cusco was at 9:50 a.m., through Lima, Miami, and on to Nashville.  We’re scheduled to land in Nashville tonight at 10:20 p.m. and, God willing, will make our way back to our homes, families, and “hounds”.    One of the ladies on the trip asked me as we were approaching the peak last Thursday if I would ever travel with these guys again.  My response at the time, as I was gasping for breath, and trying to follow Antonio’s instructions of “just like Jack the Ripper….one  piece at a time” was not NO, but HELL NO!    She asked me the same question again on the last day at lunch and I smiled and said “only if they ask me to”!
Addendum:   Our LAN flight from Lima to Miami didn't land on time, then with immigration having minimal workers, having to pick up our luggage at baggage claim, only to recheck it.....well we missed being able to check our luggage in for our next flight by 15 minutes!   Believe me, there was a lot of pleading at the American Airlines counter (a wife having a birthday, a mother recovering from surgery, another mother very sick, and a hound dog "home alone"), but we're now settled into the Element Hotel in Miami, Florida for the night.   Plans are to be back at the airport around 5:30 for a 7:30 a.m. flight to Washington DC.....then hopefully on to Nashville!  But at least we're back in the USA!
