Thanks, Gerry. When I look at the price breakdown, then you're right, the
$1100 may not be that unreasonable. Your 'Dallas to Lima' quote is very
close to what I paid to go to Lima about 2 or 3 years ago. I also noticed
that there aren't that many flights that go to La Paz. From Miami, it looks
like there's only one around 11 pm that goes out every night. So that would
explain the cost too.
Thanks,
Robin
