We rocked!

Monday, November 28, 2011 0 Health/Fitness curling, friends, fun Permalink

Our curling team won both our games last night (6-2 and 6-1)! We were on fire! I did much better than last week, my first game after returning from Argentina. I couldn't even remember which foot to put my slider on last week.

It's our final day in South America. We awoke at 8am which is comparatively later than other mornings of our trip. There was still uncertainty regarding our airport transfer pickup. After a quick, and thankfully our last jabon breakfast of the trip, we got a message from front desk telling us the ...

Today was our tour with Ampora Wine Tours. For US$175 per person, we visited 3 very modern wineries and had a gourmet lunch. We had signed up for the Uco Valley wine tour. The region of Uco Valley is gorgeous. Picture this - foothills and the snow-capped Andes in the background, rows and rows ...

Argentine airport crazy line-ups

Wednesday, November 16, 2011 0 Argentina, Journal experience, travel Permalink

It's worse than boarding a Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong, and I thought that was bad with all the impatient, rude, Asians stampeding through to get on the plane. It's chaos. Same goes for flights in Argentina. Line-ups start to form before any announcement is made and even though it makes no sense and ...

Trelew to BA

Tuesday, November 15, 2011 0 Argentina, Journal, Nature, YouTube adventure, animals, entertainment, fun, photography Permalink

At Trelew Airport. Our flight has been delayed by an hour so we're hopefully flying out at 10PM. The day was fun-filled at Punta Tombo where we saw Magellanic penguins and their eggs. They weren't quite as lively as the penguins in Chile, but hubby liked the landscape a lot more (there was actual landscape versus ...

Whale watching

Monday, November 14, 2011 0 Argentina, Journal, Nature adventure, animals, experience, inspiration, life Permalink

It was an ultimate, breath-taking experience! We got very close to the Southern Right Whales and it was magnificent to see these majestic mammals up close. I almost started to cry because I felt so privileged to be so close to these gentle giants. Most of the whales were in pairs, mamma and baby, but don't ...

Adventures in Northern Patagonia

Monday, November 14, 2011 0 Argentina, Journal, Nature, YouTube adventure, animals, entertainment, experience, fun Permalink

It's a beautiful, sunny afternoon in Puerto Piramides. We're sitting on our beachfront patio at Las Restingas watching the boats go in and out for the whale tours. We registered this afternoon for the sunset whale tour with Southern Spirit. Last night, after an amazing day, we hit the sack early. I wasn't ...

Travel is tricky in Argentina with limited Spanish

Saturday, November 12, 2011 0 Argentina, Journal, Nature adventure, travel Permalink

We're sitting in the airport in Buenos Aires waiting for our next flight to Trelew. I had to drag myself out of bed this morning. The alarm went off at the Godly hour of 6am. Our driver was picking us up at 7. I managed to sleep through the entire trip ...

Iguazu Falls and Jungle Biking

Saturday, November 12, 2011 0 Argentina, Journal, YouTube adventure, animals, experience, fun, inspiration Permalink

Yesterday we had an early start with Argecam Tur. Gustavo picked us up at 7:30am to take us to Iguazu Falls on the Argentine side. The reason for getting such an early start is because the National Park gets crowded early and it is crowded every day of the year with more than ...
