Today, Tania, my eldest daughter called. She told me that there was this very inexpensive ticket for Cusco and would I like to buy it.
My daughter has been telling me for 15 years that she would take me to Cusco and Machu Picchu. She went there for the first time with her then BF and I was in charge of the kids. She came back elated and told me she would take me. Since then, she has gone many times and I was never invited.
Now, she either decided that it was now or never, or she is more comfortable with her youngest boy with his father. I´ll go with her and her BF.
I hope I will survive the trip. Over 10 years ago I was younger and in good health. Now I don´t want to make a list of my ailments. But I´d love to see the beatiful churches in Cusco and go to Machu Picchu, Valle de Reyes and some warm springs in the middle of the mountains.

@KristenH The ancient way to do it is to chew coca leaves

@marguicha I hope not. Is there something you can take for that?

Years ago it was before I had cancer. The side effects of chemo exist. They are not things I imagine.

@Yadah04 A lymphoma. It is on remission now, but in the last years I got some side effects that are product of the lifesaving chemotherapy.
