Cold Front:Counting days till sunshine

Well it is late Sunday night (Nov 25) and we are down to 5 sleeps until we leave. It is -25 today and we are salivating over warmer winds on the peruvian coast. After much hassle with the Quebec government (they are now their own nation...whatever that means) Andrew finally got his birth certificate. Apparently Canada no longer recognized his birth certificate as valid proof of canadian citizenship. So as the French say...c'est la vie!!
WIth perisistence and rusty french, he was able to locate and get his new birth certificate.
With barely weeks to spare, everything came through and we received our passports without a hitch.
We have both been working like crazy...I believe the protocol is "My name is Andrew Harrison and I'm a workaholic" LOL Anyway it has been fun all the same, planning, dreaming and discussing what we're going to be doing on our new adventure.
To date we've got all the gear...how am I to survive with one pair of shoes and only 3 outfits for the entire month??? We'll see how sexy Andrew thinks I am after 4 days of body perfume and "odorized" clothing!!! The tests of marriage!! (If only they were all this fun!!) :) We just booked our hostel for the night in Miraflores District...the Inca Lodge...comes highly recommended..exciting!!
So three days of work...then off to Ontario for a night and on to Peru!! I hope what awaits us is as fabulous as our dreams....
Cheerio all...until next time!
