And it begins again...

Almost two years since the last post and my last international trip.  I have been itching to get out since arriving and working towards the next "escape."  In reading the last entry, I was clearly exhausted and done with traveling.  I told myself that 4 months was too long and I wouldn't do it again.  Well aparently I forgot those strong feelings because I am back for much more, this time for 10 months abroad.

Four hours until I leave for Lima.  It still hasn't really hit me yet.  One thing that has is the massive weight of my pack...55 lbs and counting.  One wrong step and I am on the floor like a turtle on its shell flailing and embarrassed.  Yes, I know this from experience and one mishap is enough for me. 

Nothing too cool to share, just that this is once again the start of something great! My Peruvian friends Grecia and Ximena will be picking me up at the airport and I meet with another good friend tomorrow to head to the Amazon for some exploring.  Sounds like a good start......until we meet again!!
