The getting there

So this was Josie’s first time on a plane and Sofia keeps reminding me this was Louis’ 2nd, but the first time I was 6 months pregnant with him, which makes for a really good story, but Louis is definitely not counting it. 

It was a crazy ride for everyone. Not an ideal experience for the first time, but I guess that’s life. Our plane got cancelled in Austin. We made the best of it, and our good family friends John and Cynthia Riddle are in Austin so we stayed the night with them. 

We made it to Miami the next day, waited for a plane that kept getting delayed due to the storm and water on the runway. We finally got on at 9pm, but then the pilots timed out and we all got off and slept in the airport that night. The kids were so exhausted and all I wanted to do was find a spot and make sure they all could sleep. Early the next morning we were on the plane, and luckily were able to smoothly change our flight from Lima to Cusco. Our baggage was not so lucky. It did eventually make it to Cusco, and just in time, the night before we headed out to Machu Picchu.
