Last chance

Only 6 more sleeps, I almost can't wait to see what wil try to kill or maim me or worse talk me into buying $1000 worth of trinkets.  As you can see I've the Jungle Doo haircut so its official !


I'm really hoping I don't meet another good looking cigar smoking woman, so far I've avoided getting married in 3 different countries, but Im getting older /weaker.  I hope I can resist just one more time.

Hey I think there's still 1 seat left on the tour, last chance to join me. This trip has everything you could grow to like.

You'd be staying in 5 star +/- hotels in Lima (the washrooms are even on the same floor and just a quick run down the hall from your room)

You get to experience the thrill of watching a huge snake slither by your canoe as you multi-task trying to bat away the flying bugs and the ones climbing up your leg while you try to figure out how to get the sharp toothed butt-ugly Piranha off your hook without tipping the log canoe. You get to experience the joy of eating something that just minutes before tried to eat you.  Can it get any better ?.

And then of course sleeping in a ratty kind of tent in the middle of the jungle wondering just what the hell that is scurrying around below your hammock and hoping it doesn't know how to climb.  And don't forget the photo opportunity to take a picture of a normal sized mosquito as it flies away with a dog in its claws. 

Are you sure you want to miss all that ??  Really ? 

Well I just can't wait,  it should be another great adventure and hopefully not my last .. no elephants chasing me or jeeps running me over this time. Or weird rashes I hope !!

Well I'm 2 weeks away from leaving and this trip has somehow snuck up on me.  Still too much to do before I leave.  I do like to go away in peace ... ya right !!
