Thanks for your warm wishes

Thanks to everyone who emailed to wish me well on my travels. Please keep checking the blog for photos and news.

I'm feeling a lot better today than yesterday. Those vaccinations really take it out of you!

I've also got several prescriptions to fill and take with me, especially for altitude sickness. That's the only thing I'm really worried about. Lima is at sea level, but Cusco is 10,000 feet. Since I'm flying in, there will be no time to acclimatize. I'll be in Cusco for a day, and then on to Chijnaya at 13,000 ft.!

I also need to do a little shopping and a lot of packing. I am taking a digital camera, so hopefully I'll be uploading plenty of pictures during my trip.
