i’m now fully booked for my trip to Colombia next year.  i’m super excited.

since i wanted to use miles for the airfare i had to lock in my dates relatively early. reward travel is really nice, but it can be limiting at times.  i ended up reserving in the beginning of May 2017, and the trip will be three weeks.

i start in Cartagena and end in Bogota, with stops in Santa Marta, Medellin and Armenia. as part of the Santa Marta portion i will be participating in a 5-day trek to Ciudad Perdida, “the Lost City”.

i booked everything through a tour company called South America.travel and they were fantastic. i worked with Martin, and he was knowledgeable, friendly and responsive.  plus he wasn’t pushy at all.

i have a long time to wait until this adventure begins, but i love having this trip to look forward to, whohoo.
