Let me be the first to compliment you. Muy bueno!...Ricky R.
WOW!!! What a great summary and review of our trip! I want to save your article forever as a reminder of this wonderful journey! Thank you for sharing and I hope you don’t mind that I want to share your article with a few friends who have asked for the itinerary as Peru is also on their bucket list....thanks for sharing Bill!!!... Inga S.
Bill, Thank you for sharing your very well written summary of our Peruvian tour! It brought back pleasant memories of the trip. I enjoyed traveling with you....Bryan H.
Dear all, hope everybody is in good health and planning another trip. Doug your pictures are fantastic, the books you recommended are very good, specially Turn Right to Machu Picchu that is very funny. Bill really you are a good writer!!! thanks a lot for your words...Alejandra.
Great review of a great trip. Your positive outlook inspires me to revise my curmudgeony outlook and just enjoy. Your brief concise narration and gentle humor, not to mention your photography and the effort you donated to produce this for us is greatly appreciated. Muchas gracias!...Brady
Bill, I still can’t get over what a professional writer you are. This just brings back all the memories of the good times we had in Peru. Both of us hope you can come see us in Madrid for our 50th anniversary next year. We will send the jet for you if you would like... Jose and Chincaria G.G
Bill, I enjoyed your trip account. Inca culture was amazingly complex. Their methods for fitting large stones together were ingenious. Good for you in traveling solo with alumni groups. When are you coming this direction again?..Steve H.
I really enjoyed reading your travel report. Brought back all the wonderful memories!...Beth G.
Bill, Thank you so much for sharing this with us.I’m thrilled to hear that you had a good time and enjoyed your experience. We hope to have you join us on another trip very soon!...Dan S
Just your best one yet, Bill !!! BTW- the Kidds are Frank and Jackye’s best friends !!! We love traveling through you ... since I can’t bring myself to get on a plane ! Thanks so much !!!..Karen A.
Bill, I loved hearing about your trip. Sounds like it was pretty strenuous but a lot of fun. Several questions: 1) Who were the mutual friends from Waco, I was not able to identify anyone from the group pictures? 2) Did you know any of the Rice Alums? 3) What was the average age of the group? Thanks for sharing the trip, you probably saved me a lot of climbing!...Don D.
Excellent report, Bill. I would love to see MP and all the other sites; however, there seemed to be a lot of not so great experiences. Was it really worth it?...Bob A
It was a tour with 40 senior citizens, cranky and spoiled. Me included. AHI appears to be a top organizer; alumni groups are their specialty. For those with an open mind, eager to learn and the money, the attitude was: who does not want to see Macchu Picchu? Worth it. Next up: The Rhine River in July. Oh boy....Ed
Bill, thanks for this report. Fine graphics, as always. It's a trip I would like to make some time, but I don't know about those 2 am wake up calls. Peru has made an appearance near our Houston townhouse. A restaurant called Las Brasas opened that claims to have a special oven imported from Lima. The food is good, and I always leave in a mellow mood. It may not be as good as treading Inca stones, but it's lots closer. Hope all is good in your world. Rick G.
I just got around to checking out your Peruvian travelogue..Bill, you’re getting better & better: I almost felt I was with you at some points (without the occasional “unpleasant sensations,” - I only got the good stuff!). I think you’re good enough at this point to try publishing some travel guides. I can’t imagine that AHI(?) wouldn’t pay you for this piece. I’ll probably never make it to Peru, but this is the next best thing - besides, I’d likely be more adventurous with the local cuisine, and live to regret it. You’ve achieved a fine balance between being humorous, & being informative, not an easy thing to do.
I’m forwarding the link to your blog to your new best friend, Met. He loves to travel, and I know he’ll enjoy reading it. Now, it’s time to let your classmates in on your new/current journalistic project (!?)..Lee the P
Here’s a hint: Book Info
FYI, I do accept gratuities...Ed
