Just made my final payment for the cruise. Now, I just need to wait for December.
I'll be staying two days in Buenos Aires - Hotel Reconquista Plaza - $115 total for both days. I'm not expecting a lot, and don't plan on being in the room too often. It looks nice on the Bookings.com site and has 4-stars.
While in Ushuaia I'll be at the Hotel Monaco one day prior to departure and one day after returning back to land. The room is $48 each night.
I also opted to buy travel insurance since there are so many things that could still go wrong between now and December, and delays once on the trip. The cost of my insurance was $403 and covers all aspects of the trip for my investment (~$11K).
3 stop flights from Denver to Buenos Aires to Ushuaia back to Denver was $2200.
And of course, the cruise - I opted for a shared 2-bed room with port-hole - $7950.
Personal knowledge of the trip I was considering. Patience with our figuring out which dates we could travel.

Clara and Rhenee were gracious and available. Phone contact is so important to answer questions and discuss all aspects of trip. If not immediately available they scheduled a time to speak.
They were knowledgeable, honest, realistic and very friendly. They are both very professional and take their role seriously.

Jason has been wonderful. He is full of information and was very willing to listen to what was of interest to us.

The ability (of Kassandra) to tailor a guided trip to my exact preferences is very valuable to me, as well as the ability (of Kassandra) to provide expert guidance on destinations and travel dates. I also appreciate the ability of the backup staff (Maria Ignacio, Exito Travel) to coordinate all the details to make the travel logistics easy for the customer.

Our Costa Rica trip was amazing! Kassandra planned everything and the excursions, hotels, overall organization were outstanding. Everything worked out smoothly, the excursions guides were knowledgeable allowing us to see so much of the fauna and flora of the country. The hotels were great as well, all in fantastic locations and with beautiful views.
