We are down to five months until our Adult Only Peru trip. We'll be a party of four adults that have been on dozens of trips together over the years. We spoke with our wonderful DU TA Tracey Heinrichs this week who has confirmed that the trip is in a "guaranteed" status. We will be traveling with 27 of our future best friends for a total of 31 people booked on the trip (so far).
With confirmation of the
ABD trip being guaranteed we have moved ahead with our next steps by booking our airfare. Other than the horrible arrival and departure times from Lima (11PM arrive and 1AM departure) we are really looking forward to getting there. We have also booked one pre day at the Marriott Miraflores. We did choose to use my Marriott points for this reservation rather than the $410 price ABD wanted to charge. We are arriving so late well likely walk into the room and crash for the night. Then if we have to change rooms to our ABD room then we'll just leave our bags with the valet until our ABD room is ready later that day while we explore the city.
After reading the trip reports I could find I didn't see a lot of discussion on what people did for a pre day in Lima. Anyone have any suggestions? Lonely Planet just released their updated 2016 Peru book so I bought that and will likely get either Fodor's or Frommer's as well.
Last steps will be following up with our family Dr and see what she recommends for immunization as well as altitude pills once we get a bit closer to departure.
