It is 7:21 pm on Sunday night and I am staring out at the beautiful views from.... my hotle room in Atlanta. Apparently, a 2 hour stop over between my flights was not sufficient! Due to Delta's baggage handlers not showing up for work today AND a delay for plane de-icing in Toronto, we sat on the runway at Pearson for 2 hours... I watched the time tick by on my newly purchased and really ugly water proof sport watch and thought "here we go"!! I arrived at the Atlanta airport THREE MINUTES after my flight to Lima departed! The airport was pure and total chaos. They threw me a hotel voucher and $21 for food and then rushed off leaving me standing there in my frigging hiking boots wondering what the hell just happened! (oh yeah, and they have guaranteed me that my backpack will magically be on the flight tomorrow.... yeah right... stay tuned for that drama!) The next plane to Lima is not leaving until 5:15pm tomorrow, so I will be missing a whole day in Lima in favour of my hotel in Atlanta! And no... for all of you who are already worrying, I will not be heading out on an adventure to see downtown Atlanta.... sketchy!
A small glitch in the plans, but as are the joys of international travel. Trying to make the most of it I ordered chocolate ice cream and put my bathing suit on (I had it in my carry -on!) to hit the hot tub. Yup... you guessed it... the pool area is closed for re-modeling and they ran out of ice cream!!
Hopefully my next post will have me arriving in Lima late tomorrow night and then leaving very early Tuesday morning to meet up with my first tour group. Since I will not have any other time in my trip to actually tour Lima, I will just have to go back for another visit.... who's with me? :)
