Getting ready to Go!

Hi All
Its less than 48 hours before we leave for Peru on our pre-wedding honeymoon! whee! i'm getting really excited. We're running around trying to get lose ends tied up - taxes, packing, cleaning etc.

Our plans are to fly into Lima on Wednesday spend the day and night on thursday and then take a bus to Cuzco on Friday. Its a very long ride somewhere between 18 and 25 hours. So we'll arrive into Cuzco in the mountains on Saturday for a crazy local Catholic festival which is merged with the local pagan customs. Its the Vigil of the Cross when they take down the crosses from the surrounding "hills" (ie. mtns) and dress them up in finery! Its Peter's 33rd Bday on Sunday so that's where he wanted to be! should be fun. We'll stick around there for a while and see Machu Picchu and do some hiking.

Off to finish taxes - ugh!

cheers
Evelyn
