Where two oceans meet untamed wilderness. Trek high-altitude ruins, explore the massive Amazon, and dance through colourful colonial streets.
We went from a Caribbean Cruise (Panama Canal, Roatán) to a hilarious detour in Colombia (mud bath, road trip), and then booked a last-minute Galápagos yacht trip! Read about my sea lion nip, getting left by the snorkel boat, and finally seeing hammerhead sharks.
One year, one world! Our reflection on circling the globe, starting with Kilimanjaro and safari in Africa, navigating the ancient chaos of India, trekking in Nepal, cruising the Adriatic, exploring the deserts of Morocco, and sailing the icebergs of Antarctica.
The final stage of our South America journey: We cross the Andes to explore Valparaíso (street art, chorillana) and Santiago (mausoleums, terremoto). A long layover allowed us to tour the Panama Canal before reuniting with family in Las Vegas for a thrifty, fun week of sightseeing.
Our ultimate post-Antarctica journey: Experiencing the massive Iguazú Falls (moonlight tour, Devil's Throat), a detour to Uruguay (Montevideo, Punta del Este), horseback riding and asado in wine country Mendoza, and St. Paddy's Day fun in Córdoba.
Our pre-Antarctica journey across Argentina! We explored the history of Buenos Aires (Recoleta, Plaza de Mayo), trekked to Fitz Roy and Laguna Torre in El Chaltén, witnessed the immense Perito Moreno Glacier calve, and reached Ushuaia—the End of the World—to set sail.
