Well, eight months before we arrive we've sorted out some excursions! Twelve of us have booked a private catamaran charter in Barbados (see picture). Eight of us have arranged a private guide in Callao, Peru. She's going to take us to Lima. I found out about her from a couple (Pete and Marissa) that Javon and I met on our Asian cruise on board Celebrity Constellation. Finally, Barbara and I have booked a resort for the day in St Maarten. It's actually by the runway of St Maarten airport, so we should be able to see the planes land from the comfort of our sun beds! Things are starting to come together.
