Here we go again

Last summer, I traveled to Hogar de Esperanza Albergue Infantil in Lima, Peru, on a mission trip with my church.  There were thirteen of us on that trip, and three of us decided to return for the first two weeks of January.  After fundraising and planning all fall, we head out in about two and a half hours!  Kelly and I have packed our bags and repacked and redistributed until we've got each of them under fifty pounds.  I'm spending the night, a very short night at that, at her house.  We'll pick up Alex in the morning, and Kelly's dad will drive us all up to O'Hare Airport in Chicago.  The next stop will be Houston, then Lima, overnight in the Lima airport, and a short stop in Trujillo.  A couple of long-term volunteers from the orphanage will meet us at the Trujillo airport, and then we'll be at Hogar de Esperanza.  If there are no delays, total travel time will be about 30 hours.  Hopefully my next post will be from Peru.
