Following a leisurely breakfast Dick and I started a final walk around Cusco. We stopped in several small shops and made a few small purchases. We walked by Santo Domingo and down the busy Ave del Sol. Returning to the Plaza de Armas, we enjoyed watching the senior citizens whose turn it was to perform before the judges in front of the Cathedral. Finally we returned to the hotel for our 12:20 departure to the airport.
The flight home was uneventful but long. Leaving Cusco at 2:30 pm on LAN airlines, we arrived in Lima at 3:55 pm. After retrieving our bags, we found a table in the large departure area outside the secure area and prepared to wait until 8 pm for check-in with United for the 11:59 pm flight to Houston. Unfortunately, we purchased a bottle of pisco at the duty free store that was promptly confiscated from my carry on bag at the Houston TSA checkpoint. Arriving in Houston at 6:21 am, clearing customs, retrieving and rechecking luggage, and clearing TSA security, we arrived at the departure gate for Washington Reagan National Airport with only minutes to spare prior to departure at 7:35 am.
Our fabulous Peru adventure concluded with our arrival in Washington at 11:39 am where Sara, Gavin and Ellie greeted us. It was good to be home welcomed by smiles and wags!
COSTA RICA a trip of a life time travelling round this beautiful country. All went like clockwork even when the weather was against us and all transfers seemed to be part of the holiday not a chore. Would definitely use Adventure Life again having previously used them 20 years ago!!

Adventure Life helped me plan my trip to Antarctica. They always responded fast to my emails and were a pleasure to deal with.

The travel specialists we've worked with for 2 vacations have made the trip planning process easy! They ask good questions to ensure they understand our goals and likes and have done an excellent job matching adventures with our preferences - even suggesting things we would not have thought about on our own!

Erin is great to work with on our adventure to Antartica. She gave us great choices and is very knowledgeable about the options. Her recommendations saved us from making some big mistakes.
