We are not off to an ideal start. Although the airline website says we departed on time, it's hours later and we're still sitting here. There is currently a five hour posted delay. We spent three hours standing in line to check in. We thought our process should be easier than the people who were missing connections and having to re-book and rearrange, but no such luck. Our reservation had disappeared. Somehow it all got straightened out (except for the delay) and we got free lunch for our inconvenience.
The good part about the long wait was that we met some great people while standing in line. One couple about our ages were headed to Buenos Aires and then Patagonia. I think their travels are going to be really messed up. Also, a delightful young couple trying to get home to Sao Paulo from their vacation in San Francisco. We were well entertained for the three hours comparing food and travel stories.
Hopefully we'll depart in another hour and a half and we'll arrive in Lima at about 5am. Ugh. I hate flying all night.
