Hello friends and family! Welcome to our blog! As most of you probably know by now, we are getting ready to travel to Peru!!! Lots of things have happened since we decided to start saving in July for our 40 day vacation in January/February 2012. We made the decision to move to Phoenix, Arizona in March, which we are both very excited about. Also, on December 28th Chris asked me to be his wife! (Pictures of the proposal below.)
With all of the changes and excitement, and my mother coming home from Korea for a 2 week visit, our trip plans seemed to get pushed to the back burner. So now, with 20 days to go before we leave for Peru, we are making a push on some final arrangements and planning. There are the little things that are definitely less fun, like planning out credit card payments in advance. There are the bigger and more important things that are still less fun, like packing our house and moving everything into a storage unit. Then there are the things that feel really exciting, like making our hostal reservations for El Virgen de la Candelaria festival in Puno, Peru, or picking out our new gear.
We will be in Peru from January 23rd-February 29th! We'll be traveling all over the southern half of the country. Some of the things we are most looking forward to doing are: Sandboarding in Huancachina, flying over the Nazca Lines, hiking the Canon de Colca and Canon de Catahuasi (the deepest canyons in the world; more than twice as deep as The Grand Canyon), celebrating El Virgen de la Candelaria festival at Lake Titicaca (the highest lake in the world), perusing the streets of Cuzco, seeing the world famous Machu Picchu at sunrise, and so much more!
We will try to keep our blog as updated as possible with posts and photos so that everyone can experience Peru with us as we go! We can't wait to share all of our adventures with you!
We've got miles to go...
