Non Voyage*

This morning, we should have caught the o'dark early flight to Lima, via Atlanta.

We would have started our adventure with a night in Lima, Peru, and maybe seen the amazing fountains in the evening.

We wouldn't have much time before heading to the Nazca Lines for three days, but these are some of the local sights the hotel boasts of. I'm kind of interested in the macabre skulls and burials.


We will make it eventually, as the trip has only been postponed for months or a full year. Earlier this week, we officially canceled the African leg (Safari in Kruger National Park, Cape Town, Egypt & Jordan tour), and are waiting for our SE Asia itinerary to cancel on us, so we lose less money. If anyone can predict the next 4 months, you know better than I if we can at least make Australia, NZ, and Fiji and take Dwayne's vacation time in Oceana as already scheduled.

Even though my suitcase is not unpacked, I'm not feeling too morose about it, as it the new normal has eradicated my trip mindset, and now we are living a lifestyle that is diametrically opposed to what we planned for this spring.
Bring on the social distancing!
