Getting to Peru September 2022
So I have been in Miraflores Peru for 48 hours now and I absolutely love it! It was a tad bumpy getting here from Tampa. My mother texted me a few hours from my flight and said airline pilots were having a strike in Atlanta where my layover was and specifically Delta, and I started…
