Month: March 2016

We’ve had picture perfect weather here in Marathon for the last several days….made us both think “what in the heck are we leaving for?!!”  Note to self: schedule holidays for Januay and February in the future:-). We head to Chile tomorrow and are in the not-fun state of being nearly packed and hoping we haven’t forgotten anything.  Speaking of which — we both have waterproof pants which we bought for our Alaska trip a couple of years ago — but they are inconveniently located in Chicago at the moment.  Amazon to the rescue.  Can you believe you can order waterproof pants and have them delivered the next day?!

Getting very excited about our upcoming holiday in Chile. We fly from Miami to Santiago and then on to Punta Arenas. This bit of travel takes up nearly a whole day.  The next day we will be picked up for a 3 hour drive to our resort, The Awasi in Patagonia!  We’ll spend a week there doing outdoor things like hike (yikes!), fly fish and perhaps some white water rafting. I’m pretty sure we’ll see — and maybe walk on — glaciers and I’m hoping to see some penguins. After Patagonia, we’ll fly to Puerto Montt and embark on a 5 day car trip through Chile’s lake area plus stops at a famous waterfall, a horse hacienda and Neruda’s seaside home Isla Negra arriving back in Santiago.  Four days of wine touring from there and then back to Miami. Sounds very busy.  Stay tuned. I’ll post when wifi access permits.
