Day 1

Ok so day 1 got off to an awesome start haha then crashed inflames from there haha. I got the airport 2 hours early and my flight from Salt Lake to Dallas left right on time, but when we came into Dallas the airport was closed due to weather. So the plane circled for a while then we ran out of gas, so then we had to land at some AA production facility in Fortworth, refuel and wait for about an hour and a half, then fly back to Dallas. This meant that I missed my flight from Dallas to Miami. So then I had to take the shuttle to the other side of the airport and beg to get put on the next flight to Miami which was leaving right then, except then it was delayed so I wasn't sure if I would make my flight from Miami to Lima. When I got to Miami I had to run to my next gate because the pilot said that they were boarding. But when I got there (out of breath) the plane was down for maintenance haha. So then I chilled there for an hour. So now I am in Lima in my first hotel.

Highlights of the day!

The hilarious little boy in the seat in front of me from Salt Lake to Dallas that I played Pica-boo with for over an hour (not my choice). But still funny haha, he had a mohawk.

The very kind old lady I sat next to from Dallas to Miami, she gave me one of her home made oatmeal raisin cookies (enough said)

James and his mom, they are backpacking around South America and James is spending the summer in Cusco working in a hostel. They were really nice, and kept me company while we waited for the plane to get fixed for our flight to Lima. We had a race to get through customs, I won haha!
