Made it to Lima!

Hey guys!

Just checking in - I made it to Lima! :)

Its already been an adventure....when I tried to check into my flight they said I could not board the plane without proof that I would be returning to the USA within 90 days (I only had a one way ticket). After about 30 minutes of "discussing" this problem with the ticket agent, he suggested I just buy a refundable ticket to anywhere in the US and then cancel it when I have my real flight booked. Crazy FAA and their regulations! Thank goodness for free wireless internet and my laptop. I bought a ticket on my computer while standing at the ticket counter :)

But I got here, had NO problems with customs, found my driver, and got to the hostel. My driver even took all the lab supplies I was carrying and told me he would bring them to the University for me! So nice! Tomorrow I am meeting up with a woman from the lab here named Mayuko. We are going to go to lunch and then to get me a Peruvian cell phone. On Monday I fly to Cusco and go straight from the airport to the classroom to start my 2 weeks of Spanish classes.

It's so nice to finally be here. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well - love you guys!!

Hasta luego,
Kristyn

PS - I am one hour BEHIND Florida, and two hours AHEAD of California here.
