Nearly Ready...Just About Set

My adventure sets off from LAX at 7 am on New Years Day for Lima, Peru (with a leisurely plane change in Miami)...somehow I trust I'll get from here to there (still sorting what to take, what to still buy, what's optional and what I had better get my ass in gear to do!) So far this is the skeleton of my adventure:

First Two Days in Lima--getting a whiff of Peruvian big city life
Next Two Weeks based in Cusco--I'm hoping to trek up to Machu Picchu, visit islands around Lake Titicaca, and take in a bit of the Amazon Jungle
Then a flight up to Ecuador with a couple of days in Otavalo, an indigenous stronghold with a major crafts market.
Next a bus ride over to Quito and an 8-day tour of the Galapagos Islands (joined by my friend Andy Papp), followed by a couple of more days around Quito.
If all goes as planned I'll be back home on January 30.
