Traveling on New Year's Eve actually turned out to be a positive! The airports were quieter, the planes weren't fully booked, and there were NO lines for security and customs. When I arrived in Lima, Peru, it was very close to midnight. After I picked up my luggage, I made my way to the luggage check-point only to have all of the workers rush us through without scanning our luggage. Then they all started counting down, cheering, and hugging each other. (The fact that the people were all more worried about celebrating the turn of the New Year with each other, rather than making security a priority, proves how Latin American culture values relationships.) Once I got through, I had to walk outside of the airport to recheck my suitcase. There were fireworks going off the whole time. It was a very special welcome to Peru!
I had a slight delay in Lima due to weather, but I finally arrived to Cusco mid-Sunday morning. I was so thankful that all of my suitcases made it, and I made all of my connections. Thank you for all of your prayers!
