Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is one of the wonders of world and can be a very long day when done in one day. Kalindra and I had such a short trip that we needed to do the one day trip and not the two or three or four day route that is also available. Our adventure went a…

Ica…Day 2

After the weirdest day of travel I have ever had I am pretty sure sleeping in and having a relaxing day was exactly what was on the schedule for the day. We slept in to receive a phone call at 9:00am alerting us that breakfast would be over at 9:30am. Somewhat still half asleep we…

Ica…Day 1

Day one in Ica did not turn out the way it was meant to. We had planned to arrive early in the morning and we had even secured an early check in at our hotel. We were going to freshen up and then see what Ica had to offer. Instead we didn’t end up checking…

Cusco…Day 4

Our last day in Cusco started out a little slow. Kalindra wasn’t feeling very well and I decided to venture out to buy our bus tickets to Ica. We were going to take the overnight train on Cruz del Sur that left at 6:00pm. I went to our favorite little travel agency and they told…

Cusco…Day 3

Most of day three was all about Machu Picchu which will be another post to come. But after coming home from Machu Picchu Kalindra and I met some more people from LA that were staying at our hostel which is always a fun experience. We decided we would spend our last night in Cusco out…

Cusco…Day 2

After a very long first day in Cusco sleeping in was exactly what was needed and sleeping in is what we did. Kalindra and I had a very leisurely morning around the hostel and ventured out to book our trip to Machu Picchu, visit some Shamans and have a nice lunch. Needless to say, that…

Cusco…Day 1

After reading about the epic evening in Lima we had, you can imagine how I felt when my alarm went off at 6:45am to catch the taxi to go back to the airport for the flight to Cusco. A seamless taxi ride and very easy check in with Peruvian Airlines, and Kalindra and I were…

Reason number 281 why I love Southwest

I love the idea of having a plan and sticking to it, but when it comes to travel that does not always happen. I received a text from Southwest notifying me that my 8:15pm flight was delayed until 9:00pm. I was a little sad but there is nothing you can do about it and I…

Planning a trip to Peru for a few days

I am going to Peru with a friend in September since I found airfare for $245 roundtrip through a special deal on Travelzoo and we are super excited! Of course we are going to Machu Picchu and we are thinking we are going to Arequipa as well. I plan on traveling to Peru again in 2014…

Following events and concerts around the world

In my quest to travel the world for a year I thought a great way to really see things would be to follow concerts and major events to certain cities. 2014 has the World Cup in Brazil and the Winter Olympics in Russia. These are major events I want to go to and I will…
