How we got into the jungle

Woke up early Saturday morning to pick up part of the crew. Drove to Omaha for a 10 o’clock flight to Houston. I was tired.

A few hour layover in Houston aload us to pick up the rest of the team. From Houston we had a six hour flight to Peru’s captial city Lima. Dad took this picture and calls it “Flying on the Edge of Darkness”.

Once in Lima we had a long layover in that airport. Which allowed us to see what people try to bring on planes.

The flight from Lima to the Amazon city of Iquitos was a perfect time to get caught up on my sleep. We arrived in Iquitos around 6:30 Sunday morning

We were picked up my a bus and drove down to the river where the Amazon Hope II waited for us and our 5 day adventure.
