The day before I am to leave butterflies start breeding and dive-bombing in my belly. I wrestle with concerns about flying alone to Peru, not speaking Spanish or the local dialect, Quechua, and keeping refrigerated the medication I inject daily. Everything is packed and ready to go. What have I forgotten?
Rick is restless — worried about my leaving and frustrated and angry that he does not feel up to coming along. Off to bed at 10:15 p.m. The alarm is set for 4 a.m. Though it does not seem like enough hours of sleep, the night seems to drag on forever.
