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 front door and making whining sounds left and right. Poor thing. We continue to reassure her that we will be back and, Rita-our house sitter- will take good care of her. Plus, Felipe-her dog trainer-will be in to take her on her long four hour trots with the rest of her pack. So I hope that part of her weekly routine will help her if she starts to miss us. 

But she keeps whining and it’s making me worried. Maybe she has a six sense that things won’t go right… Nah! She just wants to come along for the ride. We’d take her to Peru if we could, but it’s just a short holiday and we really don’t want to put her through the rigours of traveling.

Anyways, off to Machu Pichu we go… And I am stoked to visit one of the man made wonders of the world. Rain or shine, I will just be happy to be given the opportunity to visit Peru.

It’s suggested that travellers stay one night before heading of to the famous ancient ruins. This is to get the traveller accustomed to the high altitudes. We are also suggested to chew on ‘coco leaves’; to prevent headaches and dizziness. We’ll we will just see about that.

I intend on bringing my trusted laptop along for the journey, so that I can share with my readers our experiences.

Ciao,

Odeliza Jacoba
