Day 2, midday. He said: We slept in late. No big surprise there. We stopped for lunch at Cafe Tostado, a cute little place. I had a steak sandwich and café cortado (espresso with a drop or two of milk). I'm going to like drinking coffee here. It was also our first successful attempt to stay in Spanish during the meal. Then, back to the hotel to meet up with our guide for los penguinos. We had an hour's drive out to the penguin colony, spent an hour or two takin...

Day 2 - She said: Well, today was awesome. Mostly because we had 10 hrs of sleep? Probably. We started with, well, as I mentioned, a late start. Showers under awesome water pressure further delayed our departure, but around noon, we finally stepped out into a beautifully crisp day. We wandered over to Cafe Tostado for what would be a VERY strong latte and a tasty sandwich. I had ham. Andy had steak. I think he won. We then wandered to the plaza and saw a big monu...

Day 1 - She said: Well, it took awhile (i.e., over 24 hrs door to door), but we are finally at our first stop and in a real bed. Literally.

The entire plane full of people groaned at that news. Problem is, I can't watch the ending. I have no idea what movie it was. I'll have to do some googling. The climate here is astonishingly Canadian-like. We just got settled into our room in the Hotel Isla Rey Jorge. The ...

Day 1, morning. He said: More travel. Just finished a pretty decent 10-hour flight to Santiago. This 4-story tall Tower of Forgotten Luggage decorates the terminal. Awesome. Santiago looks gorgeous. Reminds me of Southern California. We don't have much time today to spend here - just a short layover. I think we have more time on the way back. Have to check the itinerary though. Next up, our flight to Punta Arenas to hotel #1.
