Two years ago, with a month's notice, I found myself in Belize with my good friend Adam, on an amazing vacation filled with Mayan Ruins, cave tubing, and even a little snorkeling. This was my first experience traveling internationally (unless you include Canada), and I was instantly hooked.
Unfortunately, I have not traveled internationally since. However, as of Monday, June 7th 2010, I am officially booked to go on a trip to Peru to hike the Lares Trek through the Andes Mountains and to see the ruins of Machu Picchu, The Lost City of the Incas. The Lares Trek is a 20.5 mile hike covered over the course of 3 days. 20.5 may not sound very far, especially for a 3 day hike. However, factor in that at the highest point of the hike, we'll be 14927.8 feet (2.8 miles) above sea level, and that hike becomes a lot more serious.
The trip itself isn't until the end of August. There's still lots of planning and research to do, and supplies to buy. I'm just excited to be going on another adventure, and wanted to share this with you all.
The meat of this blog won't come until the trip itself arrives, but check back in every once and a while until then as more developments are made in the planning stages.
Until next time,
Ryan
