    We spent 4 days (Thanksgiving) at the Radisson Miraflores. The rates included a very nice b'fast and 2 drinks a day which we took at the roof top bar/pool. Don't miss the double decker tour bus to the Water Fountains.

    I checked out your hotel online per the link you provided. I've walked all in that area with my wife. It's beautiful. I could and I say again, I COULD LIVE IN THAT PLACE. That is very nice area there. You are near that park, I remember the park because there was one building we saw there that was renting apartments, but the security guard couldn't provide us with any information and we didn't call to ask what the rates for monthly rentals were. There is also a good link for a map of miraflores. If you move all the way down on the enlarged map, you can see larcomar in Green. That's the mall. Follow Larcomar avenue north and you run into KENNEDY park, which is a nice walk and very scenic, lots of vendors and stores. Seems you are to the south of the Marriot hotel which is right around where Larcomar is. The area you are staying is excellent. All in that area.

    we are so stoked. can't wait to send my sister off a cliff (I uh mean paragliding...)
    doubt we're the cantina types but you never know...
    regarding wallets--I hardly take much $ out--love hotel safes!! we almost never shop, so I keep enuff to eat/drink--anyone wants to steal my money they have to contend with my appetite!! that could be an ugly battle but considering I'm pretty skinny, they will likely win!
    good map--super thanks!

    Send yourself off on a cliff too, not just your sis. I can honestly say, you two picked a good vacation there and I think you'll like it there alot.

    I do not believe that will happen unless it's against my will.

    How do you get to Peru? Walk? You fly over 30,000 feet. What makes you feel safer? The fact that the wind doesn't feel in your face as a paraglide would? Something to think about right? What can catch fire on a chute? No wires. No other people to have to fight for an exit when the plane ditches in high shark infested seas. No wind, you just glide down. Glide down to a golf course or the beach, or top of a building or someone's house.

    Oh no, Palms--I am CERTAIN I will wet my pants first (yeah, I know, diaper!) then instead of gliding gently, the wind will be blowing on my screaming face (which by that time, will look too much like Joan Rivers), I will plummet to the ground, watching watching watching my death in front of me and go kersplat. This will not happen to anyone else, just me.
    Flying in a plane over the ocean, Andes, wherever--piece of cake--I have excellent pilots and MX to keep me safe as I cruise in the sky lounging in a metal living room...
    Just a fear.
