    In Part One, I wrote about arriving in Cusco, heading to the Sacred Valley, and the first part of our first full day in Urubamba. I didn’t get to finish, so here is the rest.

    Peru’s Sacred Valley: A Recap

    ByLane April 29, 2022June 19, 2022

    I didn’t think I’d be able to blog while staying in Urubamba, but I found the one spot where there is strong and reliable WiFi, so here’s a quick recap of the last two days in the Sacred Valley

    Lima in a nutshell

    ByLane April 26, 2022June 19, 2022

    I can only blog so much when I’m on the go all day, so I’m going to provide a “Lima in a nutshell” summary of the last two days here. Tomorrow morning we fly to Cusco, and I have to wake up very early, so I’m going to make this short and sweet. Anyway, seeing…

    The moment I fell in love with Lima

    ByLane April 25, 2022June 19, 2022

    At 4:35 pm I fell in love with Lima. Up til then, I thought Lima was nice enough, but not special or charming or delightful. But at 4:35 pm, my perspective changed.

    That feeling when plans keep changing

    ByLane February 26, 2022October 9, 2022

    My plans keep changing. Remember when I was going to go to Israel and Jordan in the fall of 2020? We all know what happened next. I rescheduled for the fall of 2021. In late 2020, a vaccine was on the horizon, and once I was vaccinated, I was planning to be on the go…

    Tapalpa: Chilly and Charming

    ByLane February 17, 2022June 19, 2022

    One Saturday last month my boyfriend and I decided to take an impromptu weekend trip to the Pueblo Mágico of Tapalpa. We did a little Google research to find a pet-friendly hotel, packed overnight bags, and loaded the car. By about 10am, Luis, Taco, and I were on our way.

    Nayarit Road Trip — Real Version

    ByLane January 6, 2022June 19, 2022

    I feel like I already wrote about our Nayarit road trip. Having planned so well, the actual road trip was a lot like what I already described. As usual, I took way too many photos, which you can find in my Google photo album. The ones in this post will, I hope, whet your appetite.

    Nayarit: One more road trip before the end of the year

    ByLane December 12, 2021June 19, 2022

    I’m taking a road trip to Nayarit! Since the pandemic, I’ve had to postpone or cancel some plans for overseas travel. But I’m trying to make up for it by seeing Mexico. Already this year I’ve been to on a road trip to the states of Zacatecas and Aguascalientes, and on tours to Guanajuato and…

    From Chihuahua to Copper Canyon and Back

    ByLane October 31, 2021January 10, 2022

    The hotel where we stayed in Copper Canyon was really nice, but it didn’t have WiFi, so I couldn’t share any blog posts while I was there. I did write during the four days I spent there, but couldn’t upload anything. So here is the whole deal in one loooong post. I’m happy to be…

    ByLane October 19, 2021June 19, 2022

    The first leg of our tour to Copper Canyon was our 90-minute flight to Chihuahua. We arrived yesterday afternoon and everyone luggage came off the plane and got claimed, and mine was no where to be seen. It turns out it had fallen off the carousel and landed behind it, out of view. I had to…
