The most difficult thing at the Lima airport was trying to buy a water bottle.. we didn't know what con gas meant on a water bottle but found out that it's carbonated water. Only certain restaurants had bottled water, much less "sin gas"bottles! So I found one, took it to the counter, and was told I could only use $2 or soles. All I had were twenties. So we had to search for a cash exchange.. Long story short, I got my non-bubbly water after literally thirty minutes! :)
One mistake we made was not finding the lady who Larry Johnson sent to help us re-check our bags, etc. The poor lady looked for us in the airport for two hours, called Larry, who called our parents saying we couldn't be found in the airport! Oops. All the while we were asleep in the food court! I opened my eyes as a lady holding a sign saying "Kelly Causin: Villa Milagro" was shouting Kelly's name. After she explained the situation and we told her that we had already checked in, she left for 30 minutes then returned. A hotel room had opened up at the airport so we got to take a 3 hour, comfortable nap!
So now we're somewhat rested and so ready to kiss the ground in Cajamarca!!!
Just read this to Tom Martin, he said, "She's quite a girl, Claire is." He got a big kick out of hearing the report. I will pass your reports along to him as they come in.
