Getting started

Today I'll be starting my blog in preparation for my trip to Peru at the end of March. Why Peru? Well, my daughter, Anna-Clara, is 3rd year medical student in Uppsala Sweden. Having a strong wander lust she applied for and got a stipend to spend 3 months in Lima, Peru where she will be doing her surgical rotation. And what better reason is there to drop in and pay a visit to one's daughter? But don't think it has been easy. Besides needing to stock up on mosquito oil, buy jungle clothes and study my Spanish, I've had countless troubles getting my travel arrangements in order. Both the flight and train bookings have been changed twice. And now my non-refundable train ticket doesn't match my flight! So tomorrow I'm going to book a new train ticket. €65 down the drain! Where have all the travel agents gone?
