PAUL: Four hour drive to Atlanta. Six hour plane ride from Atlanta to Lima Peru. Twenty minute taxi ride from the airport. One hour flight to Cusco. Eight hour motorcycle ride from Cusco to Hydroelectrica. Eleven kilometer walk from Hydroelectrica to Agua Calientes. Twenty five minute bus ride with seven switchbacks. All to get to Machu Picchu. That's the journey that my buddy Kris just took for his week vacation. And I had the pleasure of joining him.
