I'm doing it in 4 days, I've seen posts with 3 1/2 days. The prob with not doing it faster is the flights of the carriers needed are sometimes 1 per day and it leaves just as you land. Thats why I got to be in LIM for almost 24 hrs, get back from CUZ at 9am yet the carrier I need flys out at ONLY 6am.Then theres the 5 to 6 hrs layover in the airports for the same reason. On the other hand if you dont care what it will cost you you'd probably be able to cut a day off since you'll take flights that you dont need,to cities you have been to so that you can catch the carrier you need. I figured a Sun to Thur is not bad and hope I can put up with most of the down time.

Craz would you please post your itinerary? Where did you base it from? I am trying to squeeze it into 4-5 days, preferably a Thurs/Fri to Mon/Tues timeframe.

Those who wish to see how I am tkted I posted it a few weeks ago.Go to LP(replacement) thread in"THE BUZZ" I believe its on the 2nd page there.
I would e-mail it except I'm overseas and have a Sat night flight into the US, where Im heading for some 4 months so Ive got alot to do in the next 48 hrs. Bear in mind my cost was $2350 since it was purchased overseas I saved alot on taxs. Most of the flights I did in 'Y' some 'M', in case I needed to switch things once I started. Also the fares did change sometimes hr to hr both up and down. I am starting on 6/18 if we will cross paths please e-mail or post. Im 6'2" and will be wearing a green cap that says "Closed Mondays" (really its closed everyday). If I can be of any assistance do e-mail me and I will try to get back to you.I dont see an opportunity before 6/5 unless I get a chance tommorrow SO do check THE BUZZ post. It was the cheapest way I found in that time frame, I spent hrs on it and some of it came about due to the KIND CONSIDERATIOS of those who posted before me as well as to some people who answered my CRIES for HELP. Also,I used travelocity to check fares and times but found that any travel agent can meet those fares they werent special to them alone,nor discounted. Ive read recently where people were able to save an extra $20 here and there then I did,i just rather spend the extra $100 at most and beable to be flexible and know it will count. Do hope it helps you.
