Traveling with kids is great because they get so excited! On the seven-hour flight from Newark to Lima, my 10-year-old made friends with the two 13-year-olds seated directly behind her before take off! The two 13-year-olds got unselfconsciously excited about take off itself. Then they exchanged comments about the inflight games and movies, talked about their schools (the 13-year-olds go to public school in Brooklyn and hate it) and then got all excited about flying over the ocean above Miami, seeing cargo ships, the play of the sun on the clouds ...
Alas, they are not going to Machu Picchu, they are going to have their own adventures. The two girls are friends, girl's grandma lives in Peru, so her dad was taking his daughter and her buddy on their own Peruvian adventure.
They exchanged cell phone numbers; I hope they stay in touch.
