And from a hill, a mountain grew!

We started off with a great deal on a 5 week cruise! So how did it grow into a three month expedition?

When Barb redid her bathroom, she decided she might as well do her half bath and then she might as well do her kitchen backsplash. Lynne said if we are going to Rio de Janeiro, we might as well do Maunus, and we might as well do Iguazzu Falls and might as well go to Buzios too. Barb said we might as well do New Year's in Rio. So our stay in Brazil expanded from one week to a month.

Since we ran into problems doing Machu Pichu off the ship, we decided to do Peru after Brazil - and since it was January, we might as well stay there until the end of the month! Who wants to be in Edmonton in January if one can avoid it?

So here we are - booked, Visad, innoculated and starting to get excited.
