OK so I guess this counts as day one. We started off yesterday afternoon with our travels. Most of my packing was done the day before yesterday so I was good to go. Our plane left Pittsburgh yesterday at 3:20 PM and we arrived in Miami right around 6:00. That gave us plenty of time to pick up our luggage, wait around a bit, watch other people in the airport (people watching is always fun), check our bags again, eat, head to the terminal and meet many of our brothers and sisters on the same flight.
The plane from Miami to Lima, Peru was super nice! There were three rows of seats, with three seats in each row. There were about 40 rows of seats....so let's see....40x9 is 360 and that doesn't include the first class section. So the plane was huge, as you can see. The seats were very comfortable and each seat had a screen on the back of it so you can watch movies, TV shows, play video games, and watch your flight path.
The flight was about 5 hours and 10 minutes long so there was plenty of time to watch a movie, eat dinner and sleep. I had beef with mashed potatoes, salad, a roll and tiramisu for dinner. It was all really good for airplane food! Oh I failed to mention that our flight out of Miami left at 11:55. Needless to say we got into Lima very early in the morning! 5:12 AM to be exact.
Everything in the airport went very smoothly. Customs went well, we got our bags, checked out of airport security, and met our tour bus all within less than half an hour. Once we got on the bus we were headed to our hotel. Our hotel is SWEET!
After a nice long, much needed nap, we went to La Rosa Nautica. It is this super nice restaurant that is right on the ocean and the sunset as you eat dinner is absolutely beautiful! We met Paul and Angie George there, along with our cousins Anthony and Mary, Mary's sister Amy, and Amy's roommate....Amy. Haha!! So the nine of us ate and talked for almost four hours. I had the Wednesday special...baby goat of course! It was so delicious! And for dessert I got this wet chocolate cake with chocolate sauce all over the top of it with strawberries, whipped cream and a small scoop of chocolate ice cream. I was in chocolate heaven! Hahaha!!
After eating at the La Rosa Nautica, we all went our separate ways back to our hotels. Tomorrow is a big day, our first day of the convention. Yes it's only a half day, but being that it will only be our second day here we have a lot to accomplish. Can't wait to tell everyone more tomorrow!!
Ciao Ciao!!
