TeacherD, whilst MP was breathtaking, it didn't actually affect my breathing! Cusco was a little rough as far as sleeping; that's really the only time I actually was bothered at all by the altitude, but staying in the Sacred/Urubamba Valley first really seemed to help. Machu Picchu is actually lower than Cusco.

Peru is just wonderful--I stood in so many places and had that "geography book come to life" feeling. And while I'm hijacking (sorry, Scarlett :) ) have you registered yourself on this thread?http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...mp;tid=1280366 (I'm making a certain assumption here...)

Thank you, Scarlett! And "Happy Holidays, Y'all", to all of you Fodorites!

Holiday prayers to all in Fodorville for peace, joy, and safe travels!

I guess April and I are the only ones with the guts to write(it only took 12 hours).MERRY CHRISTMAS;-)

I'm sure I'll get flamed for that.

Likewise, Scarlett. Looking forward to a new year of more great Fodor talk!

You won't get flamed by me. Merry Christmas to one and all.

Thank you, Scarlett! What a charming card.

May you and yours have a wonderful Christmas, and may you have at least one great new cookbook under the tree!

And Amy, thanks for linking me to the &quot;teachers&quot; thread. I've seldom visited the Europe forum so I didn't know about it. Am &quot;officially&quot; part of it now!

Thanks Scarlett! Happy Holidays to you, Pup and the Yankee ((L)) I love your postings.

Will you miss seeing snow this Christmas? I know I wouldn't miss it at all! Oh to be in Florida! It's freezing up here in the cold north.

Gotravel, those clips are soooo funny. I really enjoyed them.Thanks.

PEEP! PEEP! (Extra long)
from Sydney the Cockatiel. That means- thanks. He got a gift already last weekend from guests of a package of
sugar cane rods and he doesn't know what to make of it yet. It says on the package to offer him one a day. I think with that much he would be flying to the Caribbean without me- and not using the plane either. But not in this weather.

No!He will stay home and we will go to the Caribbean soon. Two great vacations coming up.
