March 16-17 Miami airport and flight home

Image
This is the start of a very long day. Bag at 10:30 branch at 11:00 early afternoon flight from Cusco to Lima. Then we get to hang out at the Wyndham hotel in the middle of the Lima airport. Until near our flight at 11:45 p.m. to fly to Miami. As our tickets stands now, we have a 12-hour layover in Miami. Before we start to fly to San Diego, we're going to try to change that. And somehow Paul's ticket didn't get marked TSA pre-check so we got to fix that too again. If they don't change anything, we'll get home at 10:00 p.m. tomorrow night. Ugh.          Paul was a packing master. We thought we would need to check an extra bag, but he was able to get everything in that we bought.  Go Paul!        We were supposed to have brunch today so we didn't eat breakfast. We didn't know we could have. We walked to a restaurant for brunch. It was eeg Benedict with raw yolk and partly raw white, then a little ball with beef stew on the inside and breaded, it was good.

March 16 Fly Cusco- Lima- Miami

Enjoy a final morning at leisure. After a late lunch, say goodbye to the Land of the Inca and fly from Cusco back to Lima, connecting to flights home. The recommended group flight, American Airlines #918, departs from Lima at 10:14 p.m. and arrives in Miami at 5:14 a.m. the next morning. Please be sure to keep medications and other essential items in your carry-on and not your checked luggage. Please contact your carrier(s) prior to departure for details regarding carry-on baggage guidelines and restrictions.

March 15 Cusco - Belmond Monasterio Cusco

 Explore the magnificently ornate 17th-century cathedral, the sacred Inca Temple of the Sun and other treasures of Cusco this morning. Visit nearby Sacsayhuamán, where a series of impressive terrace walls, some of the finest stonework we’ve seen yet, command views over the city. Relax, shop, or visit Cusco’s many churches and museums this afternoon. Dinner is on your own tonight.     Again we are spoiled with a lovely buffet breakfast. We went to Orikancha with Indian ruins with a church on top.      Then we went to a CO OP with a llama and alpaca farm.
