We decided to contact Adventure Life for a tour of Machu Picchu at the suggestion of some good friends. This fabulous tour was our only ''guided'' tour in a 5 week, 4 country adventure through South America. This decision was perfect because we ended up learning so much more about the ruins, the culture and the country, than if we had walked in the front gates on our own. Read on. . .

I went to : Argentina, Ushuaia, Antarctica, Antarctic Peninsula, Buenos Aires, South Georgia, Drake Passage, Neko Harbor, Port Lockroy, Petermann Island, Deception Island Antarctica

''Antarctica? Why?'' ''Antarctica? Wow!'' Those were the two most common responses from family, friends and colleagues when they learned I was off to the frozen continent for the holidays. I stepped on the Antarctic continent twice: my journey through ice, wind and stormy weather a glorious one. John Steinbeck said it best: ''. . .we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.''

Antarctica XXI Fly/Cruise on Ocean Nova

I went to : Antarctica, South Shetland Islands, King George Island, Lemaire Channel, Chile, Punta Arenas, Hotel Rey Don Felipe, Gerlache Strait, Hotel Isla Rey Jorge, Santiago, Holiday Inn Airport, South America, Antarctic Peninsula

We flew across the Drake Passage from Rio Gallegos, Argentina to King George Island on an Argentine Air Force C-130 and cruised on the Ocean Nova for 4 days before flying back to Punta Arenas, Chile.The weather could not be any better! With temperatures in the mid-40s, we often dropped our jackets on the rocks near the beach and hiked up to see the penguin colonies. We were often 10 to 100 feet from a large group of penguins. Some were still building their nests ? stealing rocks from each other. Some had eggs they were protecting. We even got to see some mating activity! At other landings we could see penguin chicks being fed. The icebergs near Spert island and sunset in the Lemaire Channel were awesome. To top it all we had 2 landings on the Antartic continent. Highly recommend this expedition!
