IN TRANSIT WITH THE KILLERS I was a little early to the airport, but this gave me plenty of time to run errands.  You have to pay an $18 USD airport tax when you leave Argentina.  No biggie since there is no Visa fee when you arrive.  I did the money exchange for Chilean pesos.…

WOW. Today we saw something truly magnificent. I wasnt going to blog again until after Punta Arenas but I had to bore you all with a million photos of ice. We had a really rough day's sailing to get to the Magellan Straight but it was worth it. Getting out of our bunks at 8am was hard (we've been w…

We had a so-so buffet breakfast at the InterContinental, then Jaime picked us up for OUR FIRST DAY OF FLYING! We were excited beyond words. I kindly volunteered LISA to fly first -- she's used to the Cessna, after all. I am a low wing gal. I was hoping to watch and learn something before actually h…

I arrived into Chile through the hustle and bustle, known as Santiago. We spent a couple of days here... I took to it immediately. It was like any other big city- loud, noisy, dirty- but I love that sort of thing. My friend, Nicki,  picked me up at the airport. Prior to me coming, she war…

Today I went on a trip that Jose had planned for me.  I’m not sure whether he’s trying to be helpful or just testing my endurance ;-)  I caught a train, then had to change to another train, then find where the bus went from to visit a winery and then back to the train terminus to catc…

Singer, intellectual and all-round Sheffieldian legend, Jarvis Cocker, once wrote about love: "It's not all chocolate boxes and roses, it's dirtier than that..." He could just as easily have been talking about travelling. Whilst traipsing through South America, I've had my …

Today started out with a trip to Viña Cousiño Macul. It is the oldest vineyard in Chile that is still run by the original owners. The tour was informative and fun (they were very generous with the amount of wine they gave, which almost led to a fight). After spending 30 minutes trying to figure o…

Planes make me happy. Sitting next to an obnoxious, drunken, fat and smelly Australian whose elbows leeched over into my seat was not so happy-making, but as I slept solidly through most of the flight, it wasn´t too bad, really. Flying through a sunrise was spectacular - it reminded me off my room…

Well, we're back in Arizona... boo! On the plane (no problems, by the way!) we were all quite melancholy about leaving. There's just something about Santiago that makes me feel as if a part of me is missing. Arriving in Phoenix, I kept thinking that the baggage people were going to talk to me in Sp…

So, at the (almost) two-week mark, I have visited both Buenos Aires and Santiago. Two different cities, yet one thing remains the same: both have very slow service in restaurants! I was caught totally unawares several times as I rushed to grab a bite to eat in a corner café in Buenos Aires, …
