After spending the night in Cusco, I flew back to Lima on the 14th. I had less than 24 hours there before having to fly to Miami on the 15th at 6 am. This meant, unfortunately, that I had to get up at about 3 am to make it to the airport for the initial flight to Columbia, where I was to connect to Miami. As Peru and Colombia were playing in a qualifying soccer match for World Cup in 2010, I didn't manage to get a lot of sleep.
In my one hour stop in Columbia, I had to get off my plane, walk down a hallway, and get on another plane going to Miami. In this short, short distance to walk from plane to plane, I had to go through security 3 times. And we thought the States was strict? 1st step - x rays and metal detectors. 2nd step, frisk search and physical examination of my carry on bag. 3rd step - again, x rays and metal detectors. Keep in mind, this was all within 50 feet, in a straight line of sight. Kudos to Columbia for keeping the planes safe, I guess.
After all that, it was a short 4 hours to Miami....
