Day 0 – Pre day
After booking this trip a year in advance we have researched, discussed and speculated about what our first ABD trip would be like. On top of the excitement of our first ABD we are also going to what is certainly a “Bucket List” item for myself, Machu Picchu. In attendance for this trip will be my wife Brigitte, myself and our 'A' list world traveling companions Heather and David. We were flying in from our home cities and meeting up at the Atlanta Airport where we would be making our final connection to Lima, Peru
We finally arrived in Lima around 11:30 PM and were promptly met by our ABD escort to the hotel. We had to wait a little while for our party of 10 to all disembark the plane and clear customs. As everyone filtered into our area we got a chance to start meeting everyone before boarding our bus to be driven to our hotel for the next two nights.
After a 45 minute drive we were able to get checked into our room. We had an added personal perk as I travel for work and typically stay at Marriott hotels so Brigitte and I ran up to the concierge lounge and raided the fridges for waters, sodas and fruits. After settling into our very comfortable room we slipped into what felt like a coma around 1:30AM.
