Wayne's & Bonnie's Travels
We had a long but surprisingly easy day flying to Lima. We caught the 6:00 AM shuttle to LAX for our 9:15 7 hour flight to Bogota. This was the 1st time we have flown on Avancia and were quite impressed. It was on one of the new Boeing 787's which has a 3 by 3 by 3 configuration. We has seats in the middle 3. The plane was only about 2/3 full and we had the row to ourselves. We had a choice of entrees (the beef lasagna was quite good) and all the wine we wanted. They came by later with ham and cheese sandwiches and more drinks. We had over a two hour layover in Bogota. The terminal was quite large so we got in some good walking. The flight from Bogota was about 3 hours and they fed us hot meals again. We landed about 1:00 AM and proceeded to immigration. To say it was not well organized is an understatement. We got in huge line and it seemed like it would take well over an hour. We saw some people just walking in, bypassing the long line, and joining a much smaller line. We got out of the one we were in, joined the other line and got through in 5 minutes. People who were in the original line had hardly moved. We have no idea of what the "system" is. We quickly passed through customs and the driver. Louis, from the tour company (Journeyou) was waiting for us with a sign with our name. After a 30 minute drive to the hotel we checked in, went to the room and crashed about 3:00 AM.
