Day 12: Travel day from Colombia to Peru — Approx 6 meltdowns
We know the kids will get better at this. They’re not that bad as is but it was a long day — but we’re working on it.
Flew from Cartagena to Bogota, then Bogota to Lima (about 3 hours).
Bedheaded and scabby after Colombia. 
Sugar is not great for behavior at airports.
Landed in Lima around 8:30 pm, and Teddy’s mom Lila aka “Lobsy” landed at 9:30 — it was great to see her.
We had a transfer to the Belmond Park Miraflores hotel in the Miraflores neighborhood overlooking the Pacific.
Got in late and crashed!
Observations/notes/learnings:
- We have the Chase Sapphire Visa, which gets us access to airport lounges around the world. Pretty handy. The one in Bogota was lovely and even had a little jungle-y kids’ area.We tried to limit iPad time on the long flight but I think everyone loses in that scenario. Prob won’t try it again.
- I watched “Bird Box” and really thought it was dumb.
- Wrapping up reading “Love in the Time of Cholera” and now we’re both reading “Turn Right at Machu Picchu.”
- Willa loves airplane food, and ate not just her own little wilted salad but James’s too!
- Meltdowns happen when small people are tired and hungry. Duh!!
Waiting in Lima for Lobsy! 
Moment of silence at the Cartagena airport for Bogota bombing this week.
