Christmas in Puerto Vallarta

by GarretJanuary 4, 2010

Neither Deeanne nor I were looking forward to our 36 hour flight from Ushuaia to Puerto Vallarta. The worst part was our 15 hour layover in Santiago. We managed to find a semi quiet corner and fall asleep for a few hours. After six months of cold winter weather Puerto Vallarta was like a warm [...]

A Vacation from Traveling

by DeeanneDecember 22, 2009

Most people that I talk to, particularly from home, are jealous of our traveling. They couldn’t imagine being away from home for that long, or that they could ever find a way to swing traveling for more than say 2-3 weeks with their current jobs. People envy the life we’re leading, and I think they [...]

Top 10 Things I Lost in South America

Top 10 Things I’ve Lost Traveling South America
I’m usually pretty careful with my belongings, and don’t forget and lose things. Garret is really good when checking out of hostels; he always does the “once over” looking behind us, lifting the covers, peeking under the bed, and looking in the closet and drawers for hidden or [...]

Trekking in Tierra del Fuego

by DeeanneDecember 15, 2009

After arriving back in Ushuaia, we had a fairly “typical” week. Garret and I worked in the office for two days, and after such back-breaking work as sitting at a desk for two days for nearly 7 hours each day, we had to have a weekend get-away! Where else to go but to Parque Nacional [...]

The Back Side of Torres del Paine

by DeeanneDecember 10, 2009

After our exhausting day on the pass and in the vertical bog, the hike from Guardas area to Dickson Lake was a dream. The trail leading through the forest was actually pleasant and nearly flat not to mention dry! Garret enjoyed the forest most of all, more of a morning stroll than hike; [...]

On This Day in 1009

by GarretDecember 6, 2009

1009 A.D. sits smack in the center of the Middle Ages. The Western Roman Empire has long since fallen and the Eastern Roman Empire is embroiled in the Arab wars. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is completely destroyed by caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, who hacks the Church’s foundations down to bedrock. In [...]

The Torres and French Valley

by DeeanneDecember 4, 2009

We started the big Circuit in Torres del Paine with Wendi and Garret on a rather cold and bleak Patagonian day. It is late Spring down here, but you’d think it was more like winter. It snowed on us as we made our way to our hostel, Casa Cecilia. We huddled under coats, caps and [...]

It’s Windy, Wendi

by DeeanneNovember 30, 2009

We had a long wind-filled night at Campamento Agostini. After sleeping late and a leisurely breakfast, we started hiking north towards Poincenot and the base of Monte Fitz Roy. Rain spat on us as the wind hurled it in all directions, necessitating the use of our new rain gear which Wendi brought fresh from REI. [...]

Backpacking in Argentine Patagonia

by GarretNovember 27, 2009

El Chalten is Argentina’s trekking capital. Its only purpose is catering to trekkers coming to visit the Torres and Monte Fitz Roy. This range makes up the heart of Patagonia. We dozed as the bus made its way around Lago Argentina (the third largest lake in South America) on our way to El Chalten. One [...]

Perito Moreno Glacier

by DeeanneNovember 25, 2009

One of the highlights of any trip to Patagonia is a visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier. The glacier is huge – it’s face is over 5 miles long (Perito Moreno is one of the few glaiciers in the world that is not retreating). Fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field it runs 19 miles before terminating [...]
