Over the last 3 days we have traveled from the US all the way to the southern tip of South America. Specifically the Tierra del Fuego area which the Spanish named because of the volcanos. The land of Fire and Ice might have been better. I’m quite tired and writing this I sound a little flat because of it, however it’s been pleasant for such a long journey.
Starting with a car to Orlando and the Brightline train(and shuttle) to Miami International Airport Hotel where I met Michelle. The train was again quite nice and a lot nicer than dealing with Miami. The following morning a flight to Buenos Aries and a car ride across the city to stay at a hotel near a regional airport. We were both impressed by Aerolineas Argentina and I ate about 4 days worth of food on the flight. We will be spending a few days in Buenos Aries on the return so we didn’t do anything but sleep.
Then the 3rd day a flight to Ushuaia on a regional flight, the southern most city in the world.
We will stay in Ushuaia for the next 5 days before heading to Antarctica. Exploring the Tierra del Fuego portion of Patagonia. So far it’s just stunning and while chilly, it’s not more than a brisk fall day. We’ve actually got the windows open because the air is nice.
Michelle is off getting a massage now and then we have dinner reservations here as this rather nice resort. Then catching up on sleep before tomorrow’s adventure of hiking and canoeing in the nearby national park.
What a beautiful place! Enjoy your trip and thank you for sharing this with us.
