It's two weeks til we leave for Argentina, and the preparations are finally coming to a close. International air reservations, domestic air reservations, trip reservations with Adventure Life, Reciprocal Taxes to Argentina to enter the country.... now all that is left is to pack the suitcase and get some cash from the bank account!
Kristin, my daughter who lives in California, and I are going together. This is our third mother-daughter vacation; the other two were in Costa Rica and Peru (photo above is of us in Lima prior to going to the ranch to ride) and both of them were equestrian vacations, ie. we rode horses most of the time. This time around, we are spending just one day riding, but are going to be on a lot of other active trips in Argentina: hiking, biking, rafting, and zip lining.
I am in good shape for riding horses, but I don't know how sore I'll be after hiking in the mountains! It takes a whole different set of muscles. Well, I am packing all kinds of aspirin, etc. to help with the soreness but I am sure I'll be OK. I told Kristin: if i get really sore one day I'll just stay "in town" while they hike and do some shopping!!
I'll use this blog to keep you all up-to-date on the trip. I'll also post photos as we get them. Stay in touch!
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Although there was a lot of paper work, I received help and guidance when I needed it.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
