Today was another LONG travel day. Up at 6:00 am, breakfast, and everything was packed by 7:45. Our driver and guide picked us up and we made our way to the airport.
The traffic in Lima is horrible! There is no way either of us would want to drive here. While there may be two or three lanes marked on the roads, cars form five lines and merge in while motorcycles weave in and out of traffic. The cars and busses are so close together, you could reach across and shake hands with someone in the next vehicle with barely stretching out your hand! Thanks to our good driver, we arrived safely at the airport and once checked in, our guide walked us to the security check point which does not offer TSA precheck. If you are over 65 in Peru, you can get in the "priority" boarding line which boards ahead of all the boarding groups.
We found our gate then went to the Priority Club lounge to grab a snack and drink and charge our phones. We were both a little concerned about Hurricane Milton, but we had a smooth flight to Atlanta, then a 3-hour flight to Denver, finally arriving at midnight. Bags collected, we took the shuttle to the car, and made our way home utilizing the toll road. By 1:30 am we were in bed and thankful to be home.
Now it's time to start thinking of the next adventure.
