Okay, here's my idea of the perfect vacation getaway. Maya and I will meet in Peru. I'll have to leave a few days earlier than her because she'll be flying and I'll be taking a ship, unless she knocks me out like the A-Team had to do with B.A. Baracus every time they flew on a plane. Erjen doesn't do airplanes.......but I digress. Anyway, we meet in Peru, and we see this: ![](http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/paracas/paracas-skulls-5.jpg) Yes, yes, I know. I'm the last of the great romantics.

Good point, although I've heard you have to see it from above to get the full effect. Might have to rent a small plane or a chopper for that. Maybe it won't be so bad. Not like flying on an airliner where you can't even see the pilot.

Interesting choices. I don't remember ever hearing about Suicide Forest until sometime this year.

Not like flying on an airliner where you can't even see the pilot. I'm sorry. You having an issue with airplanes didn't register for some reason. It's probably best to see it both ways, up close and from a higher point of view, such as there might be today.

There was a program I watched when I lived in Florida where some group proved it was possible for the people living there back then to make hot air balloons from materials available, so that they could appreciate the Nazca designs from above, although there's no real indication that this was ever done. I think it was an attempt to debunk the theory that more advanced flying machines existed in South America at that time.

"Hey, we can fly!" "Great, let's make pictures on the ground!" " Hey, Auqui Maita, a little to the left there. Hey Auqui Maita ..."

No visit to Machu Pichu? How can you go to Peru and not visit Machu Pichu?

No visit to Machu Pichu? How can you go to Peru and not visit Machu Pichu? Short answer: You can't! Years ago I worked with a Peruvian who started telling me about Machu Picchu as if I had never heard of it before. Can't imagine visiting the country and not spending at least one day there.

When you were in Sydney did you get to meet Goz?
