Getting ready to leave for South America
It's early Tuesday morning and I'm just about ready to leave for . I did my packing yesterday and have a couple of quick things to do today before catching a flight to Lima and then on to Iquitos in the Amazon Basin . As this will be my second trip there this year, there's a little less apprehension and a lot more anticipation.
I’ll try to post regular reports over the next week, but it depends on where I am. This trip is going to be very much a “make it up as I go” trip. My only plan is to spend five days in the Amazon basin and one day in Lima before flying home. If I go down the river at all, there obviously won’t be any internet access.
(The conditions in Iquitos are already bad -- 77 degrees and 83% humidity. Low 90s all week, but little chance of rain.)
