The Long Honeymoon: September 2008
http://thelonghoneymoon.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2008. Day 9: Machu Picchu. For the most part, I am going to back off and let the videos do the talking. After waiting in a line of hundreds. Down in Aguas Calientes at 5 am-ish, we snagged a spot on the 5th bus headed up the long switch-backing road to the entrance. Once there, it felt like a mob scene. Hundreds of people packed into a very tight space, all trying to be the first into Machu Picchu when it opened. A small number of stamps (400) are given away each day for the side hi...

The Long Honeymoon: Above the Clouds: Over a 14,000+ foot pass
http://thelonghoneymoon.blogspot.com/2008/08/above-clouds-over-14000-foot-pass.html
Above the Clouds: Over a 14,000 foot pass. Thursday, August 28, 2008. Day 7 - Lares Trek - Part 1. I woke up a new man, having seemingly recovered fully from the altitude sickness. This was a good thing because the day started with a grueling 3000 foot ascent over the highest pass of the trip. But not before waking up to a cold, cold morning:. It was hard to imagine anything surviving up here, but lo an behold, we saw a glimpse of a wild chinchilla! About 3/4 of the way up, we took a breather. We spent a...

The Long Honeymoon: Guide to riding the bus in Peru & Bolivia
http://thelonghoneymoon.blogspot.com/2008/08/guide-to-riding-bus-in-peru-bolivia.html
Guide to riding the bus in Peru and Bolivia. Wednesday, August 27, 2008. We didn't know it at the time, but our first luxury bus experience in Peru would spoil us for the rest of our 5 week trip. It provided all the things expected of a coach bus in America:. It left on time. It did not randomly let passengers on or off in the middle of nowhere. It went from point A to point B without unnecessary layovers. It had a functioning bathroom. Tagging and securing luggage. Showcasing the rare, fold-down legrest.

The Long Honeymoon: Day 1: Boston to the Adirondacks
http://thelonghoneymoon.blogspot.com/2008/06/day-1-boston-to-adirondacks.html
Day 1: Boston to the Adirondacks. Sunday, June 22, 2008. 6 days after getting married, we backed up what was left of our stuff, and hit the road.saying goodbye to our old place one last time. It was empty, echoey, and a bit sad. After several hours of packing the 'last few things' and then getting lost inside REI for about an hour (picking up a fancy new cooking stove, new boots for Ryan, and some fun little 'chairs'), we were on our way out of Massachusetts!

The Long Honeymoon: The Lares Trail: Peru's Energizer Bunny
http://thelonghoneymoon.blogspot.com/2008/08/lares-trail-perus-energizer-bunny.html
The Lares Trail: Peru's Energizer Bunny. Friday, September 5, 2008. Day 7: Lares Trek - Part 2. After lunch, we sat with a local woman who showed us how she cooks potatoes in llama dung, virtually the only source of fuel up in the mountians. I know it's been a while since you've seen a waterfall video on this site, so I'll end the tortuous wait:. Fooled by the Spanish phrases they had learned to parrot back to travelers, we would wave and attempt to chat with them, not realizing they only spoke Quetchua.

The Long Honeymoon: July 2008
http://thelonghoneymoon.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
And then there was Peru, Day 1 and 2. Wednesday, July 9, 2008. So, expect a few updates from us here and there while we are traveling abroad, but sadly pics and videos are not on the menu. What has happened in the last few days? We spent the day wandering around Miraflores, which is basically the nicest part of Lima, but is not a place worth going out of your way to visit. We had an awesome lunch of ceviche, which is the local (Peruvian) specialty of raw fish (whitefish, I believe) marinated in lemon...

The Long Honeymoon: The long opening act for Machu Picchu
http://thelonghoneymoon.blogspot.com/2008/09/long-opening-act-for-machu-picchu.html
The long opening act for Machu Picchu. Sunday, September 21, 2008. Day 8: Lares - Aguas Calientes. Today was a simple 2 hour hike downhill to the hot springs in Lares, and a relaxing end to the hiking portion of the trip. A few noteworth items about the hot springs:. Each pool was a different temperature. There were private rooms, which sat empty until you paid for them. Sadly this was bad marketing, as the baths looked pretty disgusting when empty. We arrived at a "local bar" to a bevy of tasty snacks w...
