Bought my ticket!

I talked with Holly today as she was preparing to board the plane to Houston, then to Lima. I think she's finally excited, and the anxiety of the buildup of the trip is finally passed. I am super excited to meet up with her and be able to travel around together. Holls and I have never lived in the same city after I left for college. But over the years, we've become pretty close. I know this trip will be a great experience for both of us.

Yesterday I bought travel insurance. I went with insurance provided by World Nomads. It was inexpensive and seemed to have the same benefits of other insurers that charged a lot more. I hope I don't have to use it. It was a bit weird buying an insurance policy without having officially made travel arrangements, but with the prices of flights not changing, it didn't seem like a big deal.

And... I bought a ticket tonight! An old friend caught wind that I wanted to take a trip, and offered me a buddy pass! It was cheap-but I'm flying standby (albeit first-class!). I'll arrive in Lima late, and plan on sleeping in the airport, awaiting an early morning flight to Cuzco. See you there!
