Lima October 23rd - October 28th (Day 233 - Day 238) After another long journey we finally we made it to Lima. We had an 11 hour layover from Guayaquil to Lima. where we were not allowed to go through to departures until the next morning. Not happy.

Miami airport is FREEZING!! we ended up huddling together on the floor in the airport desperately trying to keep warm and get a couple o...

Las Vegas P.2 Oct 02nd - October 10th (Day 212 - Day 220) We met my parents at the Hilton Grand Vacation Suites where we had a villa room booked. This was fantastic for us because we had a kitchen in the room and a washer and a dryer. For Tina and I it was like having the luxury of home for a week. Something we were starting to miss after 7 months away. My parents had also rented a car for the week which was great because as much as we had enjoyed the wee...
