The Plan


"A dream can be, a dream come true.
It only takes a spark from me or you"

One of my favourite quotes and its from a song that plays endlessly on Walt Disney's "Journey Into The Imagination" ride in Epcot Centre. So this is it, the picture that gave me the spark I needed. I've always dreamt of visiting Machu Picchu the famous Lost City of the Inca's and was casually browsing through a travel brochure and sorta stumbled on the South American section. Being somewhat impulsive the "dream" became "I wonder" and then very quickly "why not". Next thing I was on the phone cashing in my air miles for a flight to Brazil, and then working out a rough route around South America very quickly. So then the plan (and a little different from the route in the picture) is to start in Santiago and work my way up to Bolivia, across into Peru with Machu Picchu being the highlight at the end of my trip. I'm also planning to spend a couple of days in Beunos Aires on the way home.

I've booked all my flights (7 in total) and some accomadation, but theres still a couple of months till I go so no need to get stressed just yet !!
