countdown week

Thanks Lance. The town is at 9,000 feet, I assume we will be hiking to the 6-7,000 elevation levels. I purchased lomotil.

At 9,000 you should find a lot of interesting orchid species. Wild fuchsias should be in bloom now at that elevation as well as a bunch of other interesting things. The Lima airport is very safe and crime free now.

Are you still going to Moyabomba?

It looks like Moyobamba is not in the plans. The trip was planned by Alfredo Manrique and I assumed Moyobamba but when I got info on Hotels from Alfredo the other day, I found out that Oxapampa was home base and not Moyobamba

Maybe you will find the giant southern white form of unowhat in the central jungle!

If you have all day in Lima make sure you get to eat some good ceviche in Miraflores.

Have a great expedition.

Bon Voyage, Ron!!! Hope you have a safe trip down, there, and back!

Tell Glen we are missing him at MOS this year...entirely too few slippers, if you ask me.
