As time begins to tick away... I only have 3 days of work left in the "office" (plus 5 days left in the field), Forrest and I are begining to finealize some plans.
We are headed to LIMA, PERU on January 6th.
From there we will head up into the Andies to the town of HUARAZ to visit some good friends and stay with them for the week. Jenn and Ted own Skyline Adventure School and they are the reason that I have been to Peru 2X already and I am going back for a third. They are wonderful people and they run and incredible climbing school and guide service: skyline-adventures.com. They graciously offered us a place to stay while we visit Huaraz and also facilitated our trip to Machu Picchu.
After a week in Huaraz we head to CUZCO on January 15th to hike the Inca Trail!!! Something I absloutly can't wait to do.
From the Inca Trail our plan is to bus back to Lima with a stop in Nazca so that we can fly over the Nazca Lines.
On January 26th we fly from Lima, Peru to Mendoza, Argentina. We will spend a few days in Mendoza prepping for ACONCAGUA!
Our plan is to head onto the mountain the first week in February to try and climb the tallest peak in the Americas, 6,962 metres (22,841 FT).
The climb should take 11-20 days.. hopefully the weather is good!
That's the plan so far...
