Today’s excursion to a beach somewhere near Jaco. It’s heavenly.
A day in Santiago
We pretty much conquered Santiago in 4 hours, which means we’re currently on our 2nd bottle of Petit Verdot for lunch.
The joys if travel
Snowstorms wreak havoc on our way down here. Travel advisories and strikes have us fleeing to Santiago a day early. No pinguinos :(. And now, a massive storm heading straight for home may leave us stranded in Miami. Oy. Good thing we love traveling so much!!
Backlog
There is so much to show and tell about our trip, but finding wireless internet here is challenging at best. I plan to post a ton once we return home. We are now sitting in our lodge atop a hill in Puerto Natales, looking out over the water, it’s 11:30pm and it’s only just within the past half hour gotten dark enough to catch a glimpse of the southern hemisphere’s stars. I love it way down here!!
Our 25k Lagunas de Los Tres hike yesterday gave us this to look at when we huffed and puffed our final steps at the top. Fitz Roy is one majestic mountain.

Taken from one of the refugios we stayed at along the W Trail, which we finished a few days ago. Many posts about this experience to come, but let’s just say it included the best hike I’ve/we’ve ever done. Incredible!
In writing: never again
Not once have I had a good experience flying into/through JFK. Tonight is no exception. I’ve said many times I will never fly through there again, but the last straw was our trip to Morocco in 2008. However, here we are, delayed, with minimal time to catch our connecting flight to Santiago. Fingers crossed we, and our ever-important luggage make it! I have plans to fly through one more time this March, but after that I mean it. I will NEVER fly through JFK again.
