SO close!

I am so close to a dream of mine, I can taste it!!

Pam and I are flying to Ushuaia, Argentina, via  LA and Buenos Aires. We will switch not only planes but airports also. We have 8 hrs to do so but we've been warned that it's not as easy as it sounds. From there we fly to the end of the world: Ushuaia, aka Tierra del Fuego, "land of fire". We will spend 3 nights in Ushuaia and do the tourist thing, including the "train at the end of the world" (dunh dunh duhhh)!

On Thanksgiving we board our ship w/115 other crazy people for 9 days & 2 ports on the continent of Antarctica.



We will kayak, hike, camp out, and maybe even take the "polar plunge"! I've just wanted to pet a penguin for as long as I can remember - cant tell you why.



Anyway, now that I've got this (adding photos to) blog thing on pam's tablet, I promise to share the trip w/you, as real time as I can get. I hope you enjoy it too!

Needed to test if I could move photos from my schnazzy camera to Pam's tablet, to take to Antrctica/Argentina: if you can see the photo below of the view from Pam's back door, then it worked - YaY! Now that I got that done, more will follow soon!
