Revised itinerary - with thanks for everyone's input!

Day 1 - arrive LIM from JFK; LIM-CUZ. Stay at Tambo del Inka (SPG award)
Day 2 - nothing major planned, to acclimate to altitude. If doing ok, see Sacred Valley sites.
Day 3 (Sunday) - Pisac Market; [possibly Inti Raymi (sun festival);] other local (non-MP) sites
Day 4 - Macchu Pichu
Day 5 - Other Cusco-area sites
Day 6 - Other sites in the Sacred Valley-Cusco area; to Arequipa [3:15pm nonstop flight]
Day 7 - Colca Canyon tour
Day 8 - Colca Canyon tour; evening return to Arequipa
Day 9 - Arequipa (and maybe a massage!)
Day 10 - 8:30am n/s flight to Juliaca/Lake Titicaca; overnight Puno
Day 11 - 7:45am JUL-CUS-PEM; to Sandoval Lake Lodge OR Tambopata Eco Lodge
Day 12 - Lodge
Day 13 - return to PEM; PEM-CUZ-LIM-JFK-LAX (unless the LIM-LAX n/s opens up for J awards). Dinner in Lima, with tour if possible.

So, now, we're looking for (a) hotel recommendations in Arequipa and Puno, (b) feedback on which Lodge (Sandoval or Tampobata Eco) and (c) info on how to best use our limited time at Lake Titicaca [assume 10am arrival at JUL; sunset is at 5:15pm - by which I assume we want to be off the lake].
