Day 332 Flight from Lima, Luckily 2 January 2013

When we booked our round the world ticket we had to use dummy dates for the flights more than 6 months away from our start date. These dates were eventually changed to fit our actual itinerary, however today when we arrived at the Lima airport, we experienced a hiccup. Our flights to Miami were in the system, but only Martijn's flight was for the 2^nd of January 2013, Ana's flight was still for the 22^nd of October 2012. We were in shock! But the flight attendant told us she would see what she could do for us. She went to the back while we waited at the counter for 30 min. The slowest most gut wrenching 30 min ever. When she returned, with a facial expression we could not read, we held our breath as she punched some keys on the keyboard and then looked up and told us the ticket was re-issued and we would both be on the airplane at 8:30 heading to the States. What a relief!

An uneventful flight brought us to Miami international airport where we had to wait for our connecting flight to Las Vegas after passing customs. This was the first time we entered the United States together as a married couple.

We asked for a restaurant recommendation and were told to go to Carreta, a Cuban Restaurant. We had delicious Ropa Vieja, rice with black beans and fried bananas.
