Twenty-two hours of flying finally brought me to the city of Buenos Aires. I chose to stop over here for a couple days, just to break up the trip... and enjoy a tango show and some of BA's fantastic history and architecture. Before the show, I took a tango lesson, and after stepping on my instructor's toes twice, she told me I was a natural. A day of intense heat was followed by an afternoon of cool showers, and then a delightful evening of food and wine in a plaza in the historic neighborhood of San Telmo. Three AM found me final asleep in bed!
Upon arrival in Ushuaia, I treated myself to a dinner of king crab. Nighttime finally fell at around 10:30pm and a nighttime dinner found me asleep after midnight again. Today we spent the day hiking and paddling in Tierra del Fuego National Park. I drank half a bottle of wine at lunch and the 5 mile hike felt more like 15 - but it was a glorious lunch and I had a beautiful rest on the shores of the beagle channel!
Upon arrival back in Ushuaia, I learned that the Kapitan Khlebnikov has been trapped in the ice for the past 6 days! Thus, our departure will be delayed till Wednesday. I'm taking this chance to explore more of Ushuaia, renting mountain bikes tomorrow for a day of riding. Six days, trapped in the ice! This information keeps rolling around my head. What a Shackleton experience! I'm quite glad that I'm here, enjoying the foods, treks, and biking of Ushuaia.
Claudia does an excellent job of communicating. HOWEVER…you paperwork requirements are constipated — a real impediment to doing business. Fire the lawyers or accountants over that.

Angie was AMAZING in helping us plan our two week, multi-generational trip (for 12 people) to Japan. She really listened to what we wanted and helped plan every detail. One of the best travel specialists I've worked with. Thank you Angie!
