Mahalo Chicos, What a wondrous and spectacular site. Tall mountains, green grass, and an ancient civilization that once thrived perched on the highest mountain top in Peru. The town or-rather-summer home to the wealthy and elite of the older days- Machu Pichu. As we walked the tour our tour guide spoke of stories of how such an awesome [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos, Our train ride to Agua’s Calente-which is a short bus ride to Machu Pichu- is our next leg of the journey to reach Machu Pichu. Although the actual train ride its self took four hours to get there and seven grueling hours to get back it was worth the trip. We were seated at the Vista Dome section-where one can [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos,  The thing about ‘group’ tours or rather ‘group rates’ is that everyone has to wake up at the same time and leave at the same time together. And sometimes waking up at four in the morning is not such a wonderful thing.   This leg of our journey, a flight to Cuzso, Peru-which is [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos,  Getting to Lima, Peru was the tough part of our flight but once we unwound in our hotel things got a bit easier. We are currently staying at Mirafores Colon Hotel, which is ranked at four stars, but I would give 3.5 stars instead. The customer service is great, but the rooms are [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos, In route to Peru. I must say, though I absolutely adore traveling and experiencing new cultures and places, I absolutely despise the ‘travel’ aspect of it. Whether I am in Business class or Economy Class its still comes down to the immigration line, security checks, and baggage claims, oh and not to mention the [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos, Midori-our golden Labrador- senses something is a mist in our household. She is barking and jumping up and down as she sees our luggage packed and she has no sense as to where we are going. All she seems to display is she does not want to be left behind. She is constantly guarding the [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos, Every now and then I get engulfed with these dark and lonely feelings. Especially when mother nature decides it’s time to take a break from the sun. A little back ground about me; I am nomad by nature and by up bringing, never really have one home to call ‘my home’. But I’ve learned [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos, As some of you who are in touch with the world outside your own, the August 8, 2008 will mark the beginning of the Olympics held in China. It will be a glorious time for China, both economically and ethically. I hope that China will introduce Tibet as a country that stands on its own. [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos, You know you’re a local when a taxi driver and delivery guys don’t even know where you live. For the most part allot of Uruguayans have no clue where our street is located. I guess we’re ‘tucked’ away from the ‘busy’ main street -Blvar. Artigas-. I have the least bit of knowledge when it comes [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos, Thanks to my other half I have my own dressing room/office. I have this reasonable sized room with a rather large window-great for natural light-. As  I stare at the roof tops of our neighbor’s homes, I wonder how long does it take to finish a load of laundry? And on top of that [...] Read More
