LAX - LIM - SCL

Today was just a travel day. A real travel day. We agreed to head for the airport around 12. Mikkel went to the post office and mailed of box full of souvenirs home (fingers crossed), Malene did some much needed Skype calls with friends and then we went to the airport, checked in, had late breakfast, our farewell coffee from Starbucks and boarded the plane. A brand new 787 Dreamliner - the same we saw being put together a week earlier at the Boeing factory. Cool.

The nice lady at the counter even gave us seats at the emergency exit so we had endless leg room. Thank you - LAN. Nice. Not so nice was our scheduled 1½ hour layover at Lima airport. Around midnight and lots of noise in the cabin with people leaving and boarding the plane so no option to sleep.

We touched down in Santiago on a grey morning, the sun hadn't made it over the horizon. Mikkels GPS informed us that we were now 9984 km from Portland. Quite a bit of travelling in a little more than a day.
