Ted met Sara and Nidiana at the airport in the morning, much to the surprise of both his sister and girlfriend. There was a good reason for his getting up so early: he needed to get Nidiana to the National Institute of Culture to complete the transfer of Keith's Inca Trail ticket to her name. Due to the limited number of spaces the government sells for the trail, and to avoid tour companies buying up all the spaces so they can resell them at a marked up price, each person who goes on the trail must present a passport with the name of the original purchaser of the Inca Trail ticket. So Ted needed to pull a few strings with a friend at the Peruvian Embassy in DC to get the National Institute of Culture to agree to transfer the ticket from Keith to Sara's name. This took all morning on Friday.
When the transfer has finally been completed, Nidiana told Ted that they should write a note to thank his friend at the Embassy for her help. She also suggested we thank Keith for making it all possible by not coming!
