Home again. I use to find the end of trips depressing, sorry the travel is over. That has passed now, I have learned there is another on the horizon.


This journey from Santiago was on the verge of being more interesting than we wanted, we had a layover in Lima, Peru where even the transit passengers had to be re-screened. On top of that Sydney and Kim were selected for extra checks, this is the second trip where Syd was extra checked, same thing happened last year in Iceland. Hmmm….




We also had to change planes and airlines in Los Angeles with 2.5 hours between flights, but with a late arrival and our bags being pretty much the last bags delivered we had to scramble to make the final flight. Luckily we had a guide, Sydney who came thru LAX recently and knew where to drop off bags, etc, lead the way. Kim said Sydney was determined to get home and I could hardly blame her, Syd was in Peru in June and Thailand in March/April for a total of 40 days of international travel in the past 4 months. She is ready to hang at home.





A late arrival home and by the time we settled down it was after midnight. Kim and I sat on the couch with a drink to relax us and after a minute I asked her what is next. She said she was just having the same thought.
Credit time. For the past decade we have been using Ladera Travel to research and realize our dreams. Owned and operated by Les and Nancy Burger their team consists of many travel experts who have knowledge, experience and answers for any question we throw at them. Like the last few, this trip was developed with the help of the patient Maggie Smura, thanks Maggie! FYI Maggie we will be returning to French Polynesia fairly quickly so keep an eye on things for us ok?
