Tickets and WWOOF membership purchased

We have officially bought our airfare to Lima!! We will be flying out of LA on Oct. 14th (still not positive when we'll fly to LA, but that's not as big of a deal). We also bought our membership to the Chile WWOOF organization, which gives us access to all of the Latin America independent WWOOF countries, including Peru. In a few days, once our money gets processed, we'll be able to view and contact all of the farms in Chile and Peru!

Planning, planning, planning

As we get closer to leaving for our much awaited trip, Kyle and I have been reviewing and revising our plans. It currently appears that we will fly to the LA area around Oct. 1st and visit Kyle's family for a bit before flying out to Lima, Peru on Oct. 7th (Kyle's birthday! what a great present :D). The first places we might go in Peru are Lima, of course, and then Cuzco and Machu Picchu. I can't wait to start WWOOFing either, although we are currently unsure where our first WWOOF site will be.

Not only have we been researching travel plans, but also travel safety, etc. There's a lot of things to consider regarding this! Information is starting to come together, though, which is exciting. Kyle also flies up to Alaska in less than a week, so we'll be able to plan things together more easily.

We're also starting to get some of the remaining gear that we need. Our tent is on its way here (should get it any day now) and I'm pretty much set on all of the main gear I need. Kyle still has to get a bit, but it looks like that'll be happening soon.
