We had been looking forward to our trip to Peru for so long that it didn’t seem real when the time actually came to leave. We were so excited and nervous at the same time because we were bringing Reid with us and didn’t really know how he was going to react to all the traveling. We left on Wednesday and took the red eye which I was happy about because I hoped that Reid would sleep the whole time. I got a little worried when we were at the airport because he was having a bit of a hard time falling asleep which is when we broke out the eye mask. He calmed right down and while he didn’t fall asleep he was content just laying there and relaxing until we got on the plane.
Apparently on international flights they have bassinets for babies that hook into the wall and since this was my first international flight I didn’t know this. I checked the baggage requirements the day before we left and saw that they offer this. We were on the phone so fast and managed to reserve one. This totally saved our lives and I would recommend this to anyone traveling internationally with an infant. He fell asleep before take off and then we had to wake him up when we landed in Lima. It was so amazing and he got a good night sleep even though we were traveling.
We got to Lima the next day and didn’t waste any time. We got out and went sightseeing as soon as we got settled in our hotel. We were only in Lima for the day and so we had a lot to fit in while we were there. We started out at a beautiful church and took a tour of it. We couldn’t take any pictures inside but it was amazing. There were the coolest catacombs and lots of beautiful artwork.
After taking a tour of the church we braved the insane traffic and headed to one of the malls there. It was a beautiful mall and we walked around and took in everything around us. We were all getting really tired by this point having traveled all night so we decided to just take it easy. We came to Peru with Wes’ parents and his brother so it was great to have other people around enjoying everything with us.
The next day we had to get up super early to make our flight to Cusco but when we got to the airport we realized that our flight was delayed 5 hours. I was so tired by this point and knew that Reid was going to melt down if he didn’t take a nap so I pulled out his bed and he was able to take a nap in the airport. I have never been so happy of any purchase before than I was of his peapod. Best money spent EVER!
We finally were able to make it on the plane and were off to Cusco to really start our trip.
