In our last installment, I believe Wendy was traversing Hawaii with her family. What happened to her? Where has the worldwanderer been? Here we resume with the continuing saga....

Since the last installment, I have traveled a bit domestically: Las Vegas, the weekend of Friday, Oct 13th (Thanks Reshelle!); Milwaukee, my place o´birth, for a guided tour given by moi to my good friend Joanna (plus a field trip to the Mars Cheese Castle; and NYC (and New Jersey) for a brief trip to visit my favorite city in the world and see some of my favorite people in the world (Nicki & Anton -and- Krisit, awesome as always to see you!!! I can hardly wait to see you, well, in thirteen days or so!! Steffi & Thorsten too, I´m beyond excited to see you!! I hope NYC is treating you well!!) And now I´m in....

PERU!!

Who would have thought when I made some of my first block entries, way back almost two years ago, in Cambodia...while referencing the Angor Wats and comparing them to Machu Picchu, that I would find myself here!!! Getting to your destination can be quite the experience, and definitely part of the adventure, but I think I could have done without some of the drama experienced thus far! As always, where to begin?

Chicago, and O´hare, are where the drama began to unfold. After a full day of work on Friday we headed to the airport, only to encounter road block number one. Our flight from Chicago/O´Hare to Miami was delayed. Huge concern, as when I was booking the ticket I already expressed hesistance about the fact that there was only an hour inbetween our arrival into Miami and our departure to Lima, Peru. My stress began to mount...and it had already been a trying day at work...the American Airlines agent could not give us any concrete answers...so we just had to wait...and hope.....

Then, there was a bit of divine intervention. OUR plane was going to be used ...
