Did you look at the countdown clock today?
Have you checked the calendar?!
Yikes! 1 week!

The Away team has dispersed a bit this week and has taken short trips with family.
We regroup on the weekend to review final details.

Our flight leaves Monday July 12 @ 6:55AM. We travel to Ottawa and have a short layover before going on to Toronto. After hanging out at the Toronto airport for the afternoon, we board again at 5:25 pm (3:25 pm SK time) for the big flight (8 hours) to Lima, Peru.

Getting in just after midnight (10 pm SK time) we'll have to go through customs at Peru and wait for our next flight at 3:35 AM which will take us to Tacna, Peru - arriving at 5:20 am. Tacna is just on the border of Peru and northern Chile. (At this point I'm just looking for a soft place to lay down...)

Again we go through customs and then we will be picked up by someone from Chile with a big van - we hope! - who will drive us across the border and to our hotel in Arica. (and a bed!) Arica is just 1/2 hour over the border.

It will take just about 24 hours to get from Regina to Arica.
Whew!
