Made it to Peru! I maximized my carry ons and took just one pound under the embargo weight limit. The plane was a little late taking off, so I didn't meet Jeff and Michel until midnight, after making it through customs and purchasing my ten dollar cell phone...
I'll be heading out the door on a hunt for agua for our bus ride to Huaraz. (from sea level to 3000 m!) We leave the hotel Clifford in an hour... our regal lodging amongst the bustle of Lima.
Also it turns out I know how to ask for a towel in Spanish... I am very grateful that toalla meant what I thought...
