This trip has been the most thoroughly researched and prepared of any I&#8217;ve ever taken.  There may be details I haven&#8217;t thought of, but the vast majority should be taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>I received my boarding pass for my Delta flight Thursday afternoon from Lima as well as my boarding pass for Friday morning for my flight from Lima to Iquitos.<\/p>\n<p>I will be leaving Atlanta around 6pm Thursday night, getting to Lima around midnight.  I&#8217;ll be in the Amazon for a week, then the Andes in Cusco\/Machu Pichu for a week.  I&#8217;ll be back on October 8th around 6am.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate your prayers for my safety in travels and that I&#8217;ll have a productive trip!
