Patagonia W route trek and Atacama Desert extension: How to sum up this trip? Of course it was a chance to see spectacular scenery, meet new people, and experience a different culture. Being open to learning about such things, knowing I will also learn more about myself, is what makes adventure travel so rewarding. Also, it's way fun.
Punta Arenas--statue of Magellan (Janet Gordon)As I prepare for another Adventure Life trip I resolve to try the trip journal contest again, having inexplicably failed to win last time. I humbly consider where I went wrong that time. Too long? too short? too irreverent? too (I whisper) poorly written? That last trip, to Costa Rica, was so wonderful the journal practically wrote itself. Maybe I should try plagiarizing Bruce Chatwin. Nah, the judges have probably read that book.
With only 12 hours before leaving for the airport I realize I may be missing some flight confirmation codes (my fault). Well, no need to rush these things! Thanks to Laura at Adventure Life and Exito travel those concerns are quickly handled.
