Sometimes good luck is at your side. On a classic rainy irish afternoon I played an online game with Air France. I didn’t even realise that you could win a prize. A month after I received an email saying I was the lucky winner: the prize, two return tickets anywhere I wanted in the world. So we quit our jobs, and free as a bird, we decided to go tho the middle of nowhere: island hopping in the Pacific and from there to the very south of Chile all the way up to Alaska on the American Pacific coast. As for the return ticket, we are only using it one way. We’ll find our way home in some month Check my other tumblr for a summary of pictures: pacificlandscapes.tumblr.com And if you want to follow us on Youtube: www.youtube.com/travellariTumblr (3.0; @plan-a)http://plan-a.tumblr.com/Por fin al nivel del mar, mi corazon late de nuevo al ritmo de una persona de 26 anyos y no al de...http://plan-a.tumblr.com/post/472695777http://plan-a.tumblr.com/post/472695777Thu, 25 Mar 2010 12:47:51 -0300LimaPeruCitiesEvery minute a sale is being made in Cuzco.
