From Salinas to Lima

Starbucks in Lima Airport (They had empanadas)


I thought I was ready to go but I wasn't. I had to turn in some final paperwork for my job, send in final emails to set up some public speaking gigs, and I needed to go to the pharmacy. Did I mention that I missed the first Monterey Airbus (which would have gotten me there 3 hours early). Talk about about being stressed out.

So what happened next. I drove to the pharmacy, which I almost went off on the clerk but I kept my cool. I finalized all my paperwork and responded to all necessary parties. I called my uber and learned that Uber and Lyft drivers give out their contact in order to keep the money coming in. I made it on to the airbus that would have gotten me to the airport 2 hours early, however there was traffic (OMG) and I forget to send in two monthy report (OMG again).

I get to the airport with an hour and a half to spare and I make it on my plane. I couldn't access the laptop I had because I forgot the password. I don't like sleeping on plans, when I landed in Panama I felt like crashing out, which I did. I slet on the floor i front of my gate and set an alarm so I wouldn't miss my flight (i missed my flight back in september when I left New York because I over slept).

I landed in Peru at 12:40pm and the next person in our party didn't show up for 3 hours. So how did I spend that time, I finished my reports, sent in some other emails that needed to get attended to and finished all my tasks. Now I can begin my Peruvian adventure.

Bloopers: On the plane they asked me if I spoke Spanish and I had this mini dialogue stating "me no hablo espanol, mi espanol es muy mal. Yo se poquito palabras", the stewartess said "because you're in the emergency exit and I need to know you can understand the captain when he gives the instructions during an emergency". I proceed to say "si" many times, nodded and finally when she finished I said "trust, I will be the first one out of that emergency exit". We made it okay but I was so ready.
