My Trail Permit is Reserved with GEEO

I still won't know about my grant until the end of March but, permits for the trail were going fast so I decided I needed to find a tour group to reserve a permit as soon as possible.  Luckily, GEEO (Global Explorations for Educators Organization) had an Inca Trail tour group leaving in July.  I have traveled with them before and had a great experience so I've booked with them again.  So, if all goes as planned, I will arrive in Lima in early July and begin my research there.  I will then meet up with the GEEO travelers where we will spend about a week or so in and around Cusco then begin our four day hike to Machu Picchu.  I'll then fly back to Lima.  So, lets keep our fingers crossed to see if I get the grant.
