Nicole and I are in Houston where we have two more hours to wait until our flight to Peru. We have already had lunch. We found a fresh market that had real food. I had baked chicken and veggies and Nicole had a salad. Nice to find food like that in an airport.
I was surprised when we got off the plane to find out how close we were to our next gate. Of course I had lots of extra time today. Nice not to have to do the airport jog to make it to a gate miles away.
When I was getting my passport out of the file cabinet I found a 10,000 yen from Japan. I exchanged it at a currency place here at the airport and only got $70 US for it. Not a good rate but better than leaving it in my file cabinet. I wanted Peru money for it but that would have been an even worse exchange. When we get to the airport I will find an ATM machine and get some then.
Our next flight is over six hours long. We will arrive around midnight. Trusting the service we hired to transport us to our hotel is waiting for us when we arrive. Last time I flew into Cusco they didn’t show up.
Sure wish I could get to Houston this fast for my trip to MD Anderson. Driving it takes at least ten hours.
I got pulled for a random hand drug test when I went through security out of KC. Luckily my bags didn’t get pulled for a hand inspection. Nicole flew right through security. I must look guilty or something.
Leg one of this trip finished. Leg two coming up. Peru here we come!
