I will begin this story with a quote from our blog ¨What´s the Point¨: ...down here, what you see everywhere, are stray dogs.  I am the first person to say that you have to help people before you help animals, but this is ridiculous.  You see animals ... Read more >

The last week in Santiago has helped us reassess our view of the city.   We have managed to organise our Emergency Passports, our Brazilian Tourist VISA’s and get copies of our Travel Vaccinations faxed through the Aussie Embassy so that we ... Read more >

On the Road Again

CHILE | Wed, 28 Jan 2009 | By nickandlaina | Views [232] | Comments [8]

Our time in Puerto Natales was mostly reading books, knitting a new hat(this time out of rainbow colored alpaca wool)and studying some spanish. In the end we probably could have hitch hiked out of here, because I did not realize how long the 5 days ... Read more >

Patti: So we made it to Santiago, Chile safe and sound with only one minor glitch. Our connecting flight in Chicago from Winnipeg to Miami was delayed by about 4 hours so instead of arriving at 11:00 pm, we arrived at 3:00 am very tired. The hotel shuttle ... Read more >

Thanks for the comments.  I like that everyone gets to come along for the ride with me.  Traveling alone you think you won´t meet anyone, but you always do.  As predicted, i was stopped today -- actually flagged down by a passing car on the north side ... Read more >

Through Our Eyes
