Pics from my Peru trip--the 1st leg

Well, I'm back home from Peru (as of Sunday morning March 25, which is a blurr after flying all night Sat. 3/24!) and have been busy trying to catch up with work here at WBFJ and at the JB homestead. And now I'm finally able to blog some photos from my trip.

If you've read the blogs I managed to write from the Colon Hotel (it stands for Christopher Columbus; not the body part) in Lima, Peru, you know I had an awesome trip. It was life-changing. If I could have, I would have brought several precious children home with me. I couldn't, so I have them safely tucked into my heart. I think about them often and lift them up in prayer to our Abba, Father.

As far as trip photos, I will start at the very beginning, which is a very good place to start.
I learned that from The Sound of Music. :)



Here is the luggage I brought with me to Peru. The purple bag was packed (by Joe) with my things and the green one was full of items (also packed by Joe as I had a packing breakdown!) for the children and orphanages. I took a pic of my bags in case they got lost. The only other time I flew out of the USA--to Nassau, Bahamas--for a College Fair when I was an Undergraduate Admissions Counselor for Campbell University (Buies, Creek, NC www.campbell.edu) ---my luggage got lost. :( Turned out it got sent to LaGuardia (spelling) instead of Nassau. I did get it back eventually, but it was a stressful situation!


Bon Voyage pic with Joe and Joshua taken by a Security Official before I went through security at the Greensboro, NC airport. I took great care packing my quart sized ziploc bag of liquids and gels in my shoulder bag. I also had a bookbag with me containing reading materials, my Peru journal, a change of clothes, meds, etc.


Here I am looking out the window before we took off from Greensboro to Atlanta. My flight was delayed. I hoped and prayed I'd get to Atlanta in time to make my connecting flight to Lima!




Tight quarters in El Bano on the plane from Greensboro to Atlanta! I could barely move in there!


So, this is Atlanta? It doesn't look as big as I thought it would....




More pics ASAP....Jenn
