Today, after inevitably losing our kickball game, I have to finalize some of our plans for Europe. Mostly, lots of laundry and prepping to pack. Also, I sadly noticed a warning about an incredible place in South America that you will note on my Life List. Machu Picchu is apparently on an endangered list. Given the state of the economy in most of the South American countries, it should not be a problem.... they're going to need the money. However, it illustrates a problem with tourism and one that may one day affect sightseeing in the area.
In other words, try to get your visit in over the next 10 years or sooner, because it may then become restricted.
Life is short. You only live once (according to most religions), so keep it in mind.
On a side note: wish me luck on the plane. I don't do well on planes as some of you know. I already bought some Dramamine, but these long flights are always bothersome.
