Travel In Sandals Returns - 2013 Destination: Peru

Hello everyone!  And by everyone I mean all six people who actually read this.  It's been one year - almost to the day - since the last Travel In Sandals post and we are back for the 2013 edition.  This year's adventure is a 10-day jaunt to the beautiful coastal country of Peru. This South American culinary epicenter has been on the TO DO list for awhile because we have a friend who lives and works in the capital city of Lima.  We finally sorted out our various schedules and we hit the road Oct 19-29.

Do to a few weddings and a birth since the last trip, this year's Travel in Sandals contingent has been reduced to two bachelors.  Greg and I, the perpetually single duo, are the only protagonists this go around.  However, Jeremy Bliss, our local Lima friend, and his sister Jen are honorary members of this year's TIS crew. 

Another adjustment for this year's travels is we'll be coming from different parts of the country and meeting in Peru.  I'm flying from NYC and Greg is flying from LA and we'll link up on the ground.
