In the early hours of this morning, there was quite a storm with thunder, lightning and heavy rain. When I finished my bath and was starting my yoga, the sky cleared and this beautiful rainbow appeared in front of me — a blessing and affirmation that my homecoming is close at hand.
I’ve registered for a repatriation flight leaving Miami Thursday for Lima. I filled out the forms and paid for the flight. I’m trusting that means it will indeed fly. Next weekend I should be doing my quarantine in a Lima hotel of the government’s choosing. If we all test negative, we could be released after 3-5 days.
Commercial domestic flights began yesterday making the Lima to Cusco leg feasible. I have a ticket for August 1st which is changeable depending on length of quarantine and other variables. I know we’re living in a time of unexpected changes but this feels like it will happen.
I could be home soon, one hundred and thirty-something days after I planned. HOME. No longer somewhere over the rainbow but an actual reality, where the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
