Lindblad Expeditions Wild Peru, Tamed

Posted onAuthorChris Owen

As I write this, I am on my way back home to Orlando after traveling with Lindblad Expeditions for the first time. Throughout the journey, I posted daily summaries of where we went and what we saw. Today, I have a recap of those efforts with all the entries here in one place. If you were following along on our expedition, some of this is not new information.

Day One- Travel day, Arrival In Peru

Flying from home in Orlando to the Peruvian city of Lima has a number of advantages.  We’re in the same time zone, it’s a manageable five-hour flight from home, and knowing a little Spanish goes a long way here.  Traveling with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic adds another one just about any traveler can appreciate: they are with you every step of the way. I think that is a good place to start this, what will be a daily log of where we are and what we did.  

My flight plan was carefully devised to allow for heavy travel traffic.  After all, it was the beginning of Memorial Day weekend and predictions were that it would be a busy one.  Those predictions did not disappoint.  Airports were mobbed with people, the Orlando airport had to open emergency parking lots to hold all the cars, and adding extra time was required.  But that’s not all.  

Some other steps taken to get me here for the beginning of our expedition regardless of attempts to sabotage this mission by others include:

–Traveling with carry-on luggage only, totally eliminating the worry and the whole praying your checked luggage will arrive thing.
-Always insist on two hours between domestic connections and three hours when traveling internationally, allowing for flight delays along the way.
-Have an understanding of your airline’s schedule by asking (not googling) the airline directly: “If I miss the flight I have booked, when is the next flight?”. Which also adds notes to your booking indicating the call and begins to develop a relationship with the airline.

This trip has both a domestic flight (Orlando to Miami) then an international flight (Miami to Lima) requiring a couple more steps than if flying either leg separately.  Finding out when it was time to board the international flight that it is required to recheck documentation is not optimal.  Some travelers on our flight found that out the hard way as they were (temporarily) denied boarding.  One of them might have been me. Oops.

Arrival in Lima went perfectly and as predicted in pre-travel information sent by Lindblad Expeditions. Claim checked luggage (easy if you don’t have any), proceed through immigration then look for someone holding a sign with your name on it.  Occasionally, those who travel with carry-on only will beat the travel company to the pick-up area. Just wait for the bulk of others off that flight to arrive and the pick-up will have arrived.

Then, right then and there, was when I met our Expedition Leader who would be with us throughout the land portion of our expedition.  In that way, this trip is similar to other first-class travel operations like Abercrombie & Kent which also considers what we call in the travel business “dropping a transfer” the ultimate sin.  Again, you only get one chance to make a first impression.  On this trip?  Lindblad aced it.  Usually, I’m happy if someone, anyone, is waiting for us. 

We spent the night at the Wyndham Costa Del Sol Hotel, right across the street from the airport. In fact, I can see the baggage claim area from my hotel room. As anticipated, an envelope was waiting for me at the front desk of the hotel with information about what we would do tomorrow, our first full day of travel.   

Day Two-Lima, Fly To Cusco, Sacred Valley Of The Incas

On the second full day traveling with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic, we took a deep dive into the city of Cusco.  Before I get into the details, some qualifying information about this trip in general and our specific expedition. We have a total of fewer than 50 travelers on this trip who fit quite comfortably in a standard motor coach, less than the number of crew on board. Ages tip heavy toward people like me, the 60+ crowd, but unlike some other travel companies, there are kids and younger adults along too making for an interesting and diverse age mix.  

I should add also, this is an active travel experience.  Travelers who do this need to be in reasonably good physical shape. You don’t need to be a marathon runner, although some of those in our group did as their younger self would allow. This is not about sitting around the pool or waiting for someone to bring whatever you consider desirable in a travel experience to you.  Not that there is anything wrong with that. I’ve enjoyed that sort of travel hundreds of times.  This takes work.  But like so many things in life, that work is richly rewarded with items that commonly appear near or at the top of bucket lists.  

Traveling with this Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic for the first time, I have to say: they really have their act together on the ground.  The guides and drivers are with us all the way on this land portion which, prior to travel, I thought would pale in comparison to the Galapagos element which comes up in a few days.  That’s really hard to imagine now that I am in the middle of it all and being blown away every corner we turn.  There is surely something magical happening here. Not magical like flawless Disney magic but other-worldly magical like we keep asking ourselves “How did the humans who built these places think to do it?” Our guides have explained the science behind the man-made elements of this place were created but not the “how did they think of it?” question we are all asking.  I think that’s next as we make our way to Machu Picchu.

Today included a visit to the Koricanha temple followed by lunch at the Calle del Medio restaurant before visiting one of five different Cathedrals in Cusco. We would end the day with a drive through the Sacred Valley of the Incas before checking in at the Tambo del Inca Luxury Collection Hotel, our base for tomorrow’s exploration of Machu Pichu. 

Day Three- Macchu Pichu

It’s really hard to believe that we have only been here for three days. We have seen, experienced, and learned so much traveling with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic. Today promised to be a highlight of the trip with a visit to Machu Picchu which did not disappoint. 

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel on the Eastern mountain ridges of southern Peru. Visiting the Lost City of the Incas, the most familiar icon of the Inca Empire. The site is located above the Sacred Valley, which is about an hour northwest of Cusco where we have stayed for two nights and will return to before leaving for Ecuador. The name of the game, for me, turned out to be layered to accommodate the temperate climate. That worked well but took some work, juggling camera gear and appropriate clothing options. 

The day began with breakfast, served at our hotel, the Tambo del Inca Luxury Collection Hotel, anytime between 5:30 AM and 8:30 AM.  

From there we transferred to Ollantaytambo fortress for a guided tour. Significant here, climbing the many steps to the top of the fortress would be a good warm-up for climbing Machu Picchu.  From there we boarded a private first-class Inca Rail train for lunch on the way to Aquas Calientes station for lunch.

In Aquas Calientes station we boarded a bus for a 30-minute ascent to Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for a three-hour deep dive guided tour of just about every square inch of the massive site.  From there we would return to Aquas Calientes for tea time at the El Mapi Hotel restaurant. 

Back on the first class train, we traveled to Ollanta station with dinner on board then a bus ride back to the hotel. Yes, it was a very busy, physically exhausting day but worth every minute of it but that might be the Ibuprofen taken for leg pain talking.  I am pretty sure I used new leg muscles I did not even know I had. 

Day four- The Sacred Valley, Cusco

As we continue our expedition, today is day four, a light day with just one scheduled event and bonus free time to explore Cusco once again before heading off to the Galapagos tomorrow.  

We began with a weaving exhibition in Chinchero with National Geographic grantee Nilda Callanaupa.  We learned all about the textile industry in Peru, most of which is still done by hand including dying textiles used in the process and hand weaving them into beautiful fabrics.  These are serious hand-made-all-the-way items in high demand all around the world.  The weavers here make up a non-profit organization that invests heavily in the local economy.

Chinchero is a remote town with a long history. The first inhabitants were the Ayarmacas, who resisted the Cusco governors before being incorporated into the empire. The Inca Túpac Inca Yupanqui chose Chinchero as his residence and ordered the construction of beautiful palaces.

Chinchero is also a town with a rich history. It was once the royal hacienda of Túpac Inca Yupanqui, an Inca emperor. In 1536, Manco Inca burned Chinchero to prevent the Spanish from using it as a base. In the 16th century, Viceroy Toledo visited Chinchero and ordered the construction of a church on the ruins of the Inca palace. The church was built on the foundations of the Inca palace, and it features typical Inca architectural features, such as doors and windows that are wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. In the 18th century, during the revolution of Túpac Amaru II, the curaca of Chinchero, Mateo García Pamacahua, rose up in favor of the King of Spain to fight the rebel. Pumacahua’s triumph was eternalized in a mural that today features a puma defeating a snake. Chinchero was officially established as a district in 1905.

Important to remember here:

  • Chinchero was once the royal hacienda of Túpac Inca Yupanqui.
  • In 1536, Manco Inca burned Chinchero to prevent the Spanish from using it as a base.
  • In the 16th century, Viceroy Toledo ordered the construction of a church on the ruins of the Inca palace.
  • The church features typical Inca architectural features.
  • In the 18th century, Mateo García Pamacahua rose up in favor of the King of Spain to fight the rebel Túpac Amaru II.
  • Chinchero was officially established as a district in 1905.

The rest of the day was free time which made a lot of sense.   Tomorrow is a complicated travel day where we begin here on the mainland and end up on our ship for what everyone thought to be the star of the show initially.  After several days on land in Peru, we take away a very good understanding of ancient history and current events that make this place what it is.

Day  5 Cusco/Lima/Guayaquil

Day five was mostly a travel day, taking us from Peru to Guayaquil in Ecuador. 

Today’s travel would take two different flights and a handoff of our group from one expedition leader to another.  That meant passing through customs and immigration multiple times and navigating two different, unfamiliar airports as well.  Now to be sure, this is not rocket science nor something anyone who has traveled internationally has not done as part of the process, like it or not.  Still, there is safety in numbers and we were advised if not led through it all flawlessly.  

Arriving in Guayaquil mid-afternoon we flew over what looked to be a serious flood zone, an observation later confirmed when we were handed off from Rocio, our first expedition leader (guardian angel in my book) for the land portion of the trip. Once there,  to greet us as we walked off the flight were expedition leader Jorge and Samantha (Sammy for short) who whisked us away to the Hotel Del Parque where we would stay before flying to the Galapagos the next day.  Once again, a successful transfer, something long-time readers of this space know is a critical scoring point when considering any travel company. 

To be fair, I think our flight plan might have had something to do with that.

Day 6- Your Questions Answered

Roger C from Tulsa is back, asking “You said some of the flights were confirmed in advance, others you would find out about later.  How did that go?”

Really well actually.  I can’t speak to the internal workings of the Lindblad, National Geographic company I know that while the seats were in economy class, I had a window seat. Others in our group I could see had aisle seats with a few in a dreaded center seat. More importantly, the details of moving nearly 50 people off and on multiple flights in one day is something we, as travelers, need to feel confident with.  Lindblad’s air department handled this expertly.  In other words, there were no problems.  As much as we want to know as much about the details of our travel in advance, sometimes you have to just go with the flow and trust whoever the planning person is.  

Sally R from Denver asks “I’ve been following along on Facebook. Your trip looks great. How does it compare to others?”  

Really well. This itinerary is several days on land, followed by several days at sea, what is commonly called a cruise tour, like the first-ever Twitter travel trip, #FollowMeAtSea, that we did in Alaska with Princess Cruises years ago. Or the Nile River cruise tour we did with Abercrombie & Kent which went through Egypt and on to Jordan.  Either of those ranks in the top ten travel experiences of my lifetime.  Right now it’s a three-way tie for first place with all things Viking Cruises the other top travel company.  This is my first time with Lindblad/National Geographic.  So far, they are on pace to be a top-ten contender.

James T from Omaha asks “I love your photos! How long did it take to learn how to do that?  What I can’t tell is what kind of camera gear do you work with.  

These days, an iPhone, for a number of reasons.  I have a Nikon D750 which I bought mainly because I liked the clicking sound it made when I took multiple shots of the same thing. Not exactly the best criterion.  Hello ADHD.  Nothing I have posted here so far has been from that camera except a few shots from Machu Picchu.  Why? I Love taking you along for the ride and am happy that effort has value. Still, organizing and processing them is time-consuming. I want to be present in the experience as it unfolds.  

For this trip which looked to be a trip of a lifetime experience, I bought a new iPhone 14 Pro Plus which has the latest features. I will probably retire the Nikon at some point, if for no other reason than to save packing space. In fact, a really good photographer friend of mine who actually does know what they are doing told me “You know these are eventually going to replace us someday, right?”  That day is near.  

Judith S wants to know “How did you pack for this trip?  

Like any other, with carry-on luggage only.  See Travel With Only Carry-On Luggage: Here’s How

As I write this recap of day five, we are preparing for one last flight that will take us to the Galapagos and today is that day.  We go from the Hotel del Parque to the airport which is pretty much right across the street, sort of like Port Everglades and the airport in Fort Lauderdale. We’ll arrive at Baltra airport at about 1:00 in the afternoon, be met by National Geographic Islander II staff, and be transported to the ship.  

Like a kid on Christmas morning, I am up well before dawn and so excited to see what the next days will bring.  Ready six hours early, I found plenty of company.

Another great part of this trip was learning more about photography, this time from National Geograpic-certified naturalists. Obviously, I need some help…

Day  7- The Galapagos

On day seven of our 11-day sailing aboard National Geographic II with Lindblad Expeditions, we arrived in the Galapagos and had our first “wet” landing.  That meant a ride ashore in a zodiac or what you might think of as a rubber raft.  It’s interesting how it all works.  

Lindblad has been doing this expedition cruising longer than any other cruise line on the planet and has developed procedures designed to safely maximize the traveler experience.  For example, multiple flights behind us to get here, we were first trained on all things zodiac.  The correct way to board a zodiac, what to expect while on board, and how to get on and off of it.  

That was on the way to shore and our first wildlife viewing plus a little beach time.  Today, the entire well-orchestrated sequence of events was a bit behind schedule for a number of reasons out of the control of the cruise line.  Still, nimble Lindblad Expeditions was able to overcome what might have been a less-than-optimal start to the voyage by simply going through steps faster.  That made for a very active, long day, and where we are right back to basics again: we get out of a travel experience what we put into it.  Unlike a big ship cruise where you fit into their schedule, flip the script and imagine the ship fitting into YOUR schedule.  A dream come true?  You bet, richly rewarded by multiple wildlife sightings and the promise of some time to swim in the ocean from the shore.  The one part of it all is that Lindblad does not have control over the time the sun sets which cut short time ashore but brought the experience you see here.

The important thing to know and wrap your head around here is that they WILL stay longer at a particular place where amazing things are being viewed, even if it puts the rest of the day behind schedule. We frequently got more than we bargained for which threw off the rest of the day’s schedule in a very good way.

Day 8– The Galapagos

Day eight on our Lindblad Expeditions journey in the Galapagos included a helpful tip from a National Geographic certified instructor, something I don’t think any other cruise line has ever come close on.  I’ll get into the details of that shortly but first, it was an early day with Fruits, Pastries, and coffee served in the early morning.  

While this experience has been quite different than other “cruises” (it’s an expedition you see), there is a unique culinary element involved.  Different here, nearly everything we have consumed has been locally sourced and then prepared onboard.  Also different, is the Galapagos climate we are in which is basically on the equator.  Hot, humid, and to some, nasty.  To this Florida boy: just like home. 

Still, we’re talking intense sun so protection advice is actually taken seriously here, and rightfully so.  Fair-complexion travelers could burn in a matter of minutes.  So beginning each day of activities requires being prepared like no other, something we all have become accustomed to rather quickly.  

To help with that, today’s activities began early, at 5:45 in the morning with a continental-style breakfast of fruit, pastries, and coffee before a 6:15 disembarkation for a dry landing at South Plaza Island.  Recommended were good walking shoes for uneven terrain on a rocky trail leading to some stunningly amazing wildlife viewing. after about a mile hike.   Some of what we saw is pictured here.

Back to the ship by a little after 8:30, a full breakfast was served before an introductory talk by knowledgeable Expedition Leader Socrates about Snorkeling and Kayaking.  From there, those who wished to snorkel collected snorkeling gear they would use for the rest of the expedition from the ship’s marina

I should probably mention here that while the schedule is jam-packed with a large variety of activities, all are optional, including daily stretching high up on the ship’s observation deck with the ship’s wellness specialist.  No one is going to force anyone to do anything.

Just before a very unique lunch, we enjoyed a seminary conducted by a National Geographic-certified instructor.  A casual gathering, the helpful topics discussed were all about how to get the most out of your iPhone.  The lunch that followed was themed the “Galapagos Lunch” as it was made with food that came from local producers from the islands.  Right after that, the global gallery opened in the lobby area.

The global gallery would best be described as the gift shop on any other cruise line.  Different here, the high-quality,  locally-sourced products were complimented by some that are National Geographic branded as well as Lindblad/NatGeo logo wear.  After lunch, deep-water snorkelers departed for Santa Fe Island for a wet landing.   

I’ll close out this day’s report by noting the high level of quality service provided by the crew on this ship.  That Lindblad has a better than 1:1 crew: guest ratio is impressive but only for the notable numbers.  What really pushes this experience over the top is how very good they are at what they do in each and every position.  Good service is not all that hard to find in the cruise business. Exceptional service indeed is, and that goes for every single crew member I have come in contact with so far.

Day 9– The Galapagos

The Turtles Are  Coming

One of the very best things that have come from the Lindblad Expeditions partnership with National Geographic is the ability to accurately tell the story of the Galapagos.  A big part of that, perhaps the best known, is what I will just call the big turtles, for now.  We see those on the last day of our expedition on the way to beginning our trip back home.  In other words, they saved the best for last on the way to the finish line (airport).

Right about now is when the choreography of all elements of this travel experience is starting to come together.  It’s the part about a great travel experience that could happen on a ship, on land, or in the air.  Still, when it happens, it’s a beautiful thing to experience that can elicit an intense emotional response from travelers.  To me, it’s what separates mediocrity from excellence in travel.  

In the case of our Lindblad expedition, they headed in that direction starting with pre-travel information that sets the stage for what is to come.  Subtle recommended reading, suggested clothing and gear to maximize the active nature of an expedition and more focus our attention on basics in advance of travel.  That enables the best possible travel experience for all.

As I write this, today is not that day. Today we continue stacking the deck in favor of a climactic experience once those dang turtles are finally within view.  Oh, want your photo taken with something? Lindblad crew is happy to accommodate.

Technically the Galapagos Giant Tortoise, they are native to the Galapagos Islands. These remarkable creatures are known for their enormous size, with some individuals weighing over 500 pounds. They have a dome-shaped shell that varies in color and shape depending on the island they inhabit. 

Galapagos Giant Tortoises have adapted to survive in diverse habitats, feeding on vegetation like grasses and cacti. They are slow-moving animals with a lifespan of over 100 years, with some living well beyond 150 years. Sadly, human activities such as habitat destruction, introduced predators, and hunting for meat and shells have led to their critically endangered or extinct status. Conservation efforts, including strict regulations and captive breeding programs, aim to protect and restore their populations.  Basically, the Galapagos Giant Tortoise is an extraordinary species, and its survival is dependent on ongoing conservation measures.

Day 10- Baltra/Guayaquil

Full day ten brought a keen focus on Charles Darwin whose name is synonymous with the Galapagos.  Informative talks jam-packed with information on all things Darwin. Learning opportunities.  Crossing the equator. Hiking a lava field.  Reflecting on the Lindblad destination-focused culinary efforts. So many things to discuss.  After that day of interesting information,  we’re cruising toward the end of the road.  

After a more relaxed day with plenty of free time on our hands, we’re back with an early, 5:45 wake-up call before a wet landing and walk at Darwin Bay.  For those who have not had the opportunity to use a kayak or paddle board, today was one of the last to give it a try, and some expeditions did indeed.  One of the most interesting parts of this, my first Lindblad experience is that with or without engaging in everything, it is pretty much impossible to the learning opportunities.

I have to say though: I am worried about one thing.

The last day on any cruise, specifically the last night, is often a difficult one on any ship as we say goodbye to new friends we will probably never see again.  This one happens tonight and it’s going to be a tough one.  Saying goodbye to new friends, both travelers and crew, is hard regardless of how things went with the cruise itself.  This one has gone so well it may be even more difficult than normal…but that’s also a bit of a testament to just how good the travel experience was. 

Day 11 Not The End, A Beginning

Our last full day in the Galapagos with Lindblad Expeditions, like every other day,  brought a wide variety of activities and events.   We’ve covered most all of them here, day by day.  As we begin wrapping this up, it’s a good time to mention some unique elements of the Lindblad experience by detailing the daily schedule and the significance of each well-thought-out element.

The day started at 5:45 AM with coffee, fruit, and snacks in the reception area of the ship; just something light to tide us over until a full breakfast is served later.  That provided fuel for those who would join us for a wet landing in Darwin Bay where thousands of birds greeted us.  On our return at 8:00., a full breakfast was served before the kayak and paddleboard people departed.  

A  tour guided by National Geographic-certified naturalists provided unique commentary on what we were seeing.  Far before this point in the experience, the Lindblad crew had solidly established themselves as qualified authorities in this part of the world.   Partly because of their personal ties to the area as many were born around here and partly because of Lindblad’s partnership with National Geographic, a solid authority on all things destination-focused.  That started at 6:15 AM and ended a bit less than two hours later when we returned to National Geographic Islander II,  an all-suite intimate ship for a full table-service breakfast.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the fact that the crew here has been taking excellent care of us. Speaking of which, I have an invisible cabin steward.  I never, ever see Jennifer yet every time I come back to my stateroom, she has done something else. That might be cleaning, tidying up the room or replenishing the minibar. Those contents are complimentary and include beer, wine, fruit, and soft drinks.

After breakfast it was off on paddle boards and kayaks as well as something truly unique with this level of luxury cruising: they are ok with kids.  As you may know from reading posts here, children are welcome, making Lindblad Expeditions a solid choice for families and multi-generational travel groups.  Today, the kids on board were trained on how to drive a zodiac, the vehicle that takes us back and forth from the ship and shore multiple times every day.  There are no docks at the places our expedition has visited.  Not one. It’s an event uniquely planned for children and not offered to adults.

Another way we begin each and every day is with stretching exercises with wellness specialist Estefania. She also offers a variety of spa treatments including a massage others on board have described as “heavenly”.  That sounds really good to me as the last massage I had, on a big ship, was more like a fight and I lost.

Speaking of personal care, each ship in the Lindblad fleet carries not a nurse but a doctor who I had the pleasure of visiting one day. That lava field hike mentioned earlier sounded more strenuous than the others I had been on during this expedition.  Still nagging at me, some leg pain from climbing Machu Pichu days earlier.  Do you know what a stairmaster is? Like that but for hours. Enough said.

Stopping by the medical center for advice,  the ship’s doctor gave me some muscle-relaxing pills and a salve to apply to my legs along with instructions on what to do.  That worked.  The charge?  $0.  That’s considerably less than what I paid on a big ship cruise a dozen years ago when my thumb wound up between our metal stateroom door jamb and the metal door.  The charge?  Over $1000 and we were still too indestructible to buy travel insurance then.  Stupid.  Now we do. 

After stretching, it was deep water snorkeling off the beach for those so inclined and beach time for those who simply wanted to relax and get some sun.  Thoughtfully planned considering the intense sun of the equator, an hour there is an appropriate amount of time to get an entire day’s worth of sun back home in Florida.

Back on board just before lunch, we begin the wrap-up of our expedition in earnest, with a National Geographic-certified naturalist distributing luggage tags for the ride to the airport tomorrow.  On the way would be our big chance to film the giant turtles I had come here to see.  Things needed to go like clockwork but by now, we had a high degree of confidence that the Lindblad crew own that clock and know what to do with it.

After lunch,  naturalist and National Geographic-certified photo instructor Pato was in the ship’s library to collect images passengers might want to submit to be included in a slideshow we would all share.  Now hold the presses, that’s huge. What big ship cruises charge $lots for, is complimentary with Lindblad.  More importantly, it would be meaningful since…and pay attention here…literally, everyone knows ALL THE OTHER PASSENGERS ON THE SHIP.  Stick that in your big ship pipe and smoke it.  

The afternoon brought a dry landing at Prince Philips’s Steps, named as such because Prince Phillip visited the place once.  No decision on if it would be renamed King Philip’s Steps now.  Those who did not wish to do certain active adventures could choose a ride in a glass-bottom boat.  I did one time to test but only two other passengers were along for the ride.  Again: this is an active travel situation, not a sit around and let the action come to your thing.   Still, a zodiac ride was offered for non-walkers and that did indeed have great value, taking them up close to the destination.  In other words, there is gold for everyone although the more we are able to put into it, the more we get out of it. In this case, throw out the gold to get the diamonds and rubies. 

Cruising toward the end of it all, we met for a wine tasting followed by a slideshow from the week featuring traveler-sourced photos, made better by crew who had the answers to any questions we could throw at them.  The day ended like all others, with dinner in the dining room.  This one was a farewell dinner as we would be on the road to onward travels the next day.

When it was all said and done, a number of travelers along with us had a minor injury…or two, for me. My grand tally was a bit over 250,000 steps, 4566 photos, and nearly 11,345 words in this magical land. That’s not a personal record by any means but it ranks right up there in the top three. Still, these were some of the highest-quality steps and most meaningful photos and words of my lifetime. This is a trip I am confident all our expedition group members will never, ever forget. For me, it is one that redefined quality travel in an entirely different way that is sure to have a permanent place in the top ten travel experiences of my lifetime.
