The Adventure Life begins again!
Meyers and I are off on another life-changing adventure and we are way excited. Unfortunately, I am 3 weeks post-surgery and a tiny bit grumpy but that is not going to stop me :-)
Over the past several days, Meyers and I have reconnected after several months apart. We have been reminiscing about our AL 8-day Galapagos excursion--our run-in with bad tuna sandwiches, the 'Poison Apple Tree', and our lost luggage. With extra carry-ons we begin our trip...there is no way we are going without a clean pair of underwear again!! Last time I purchased the only set available on San Cristobal Island--quite the adventure trying to find those! So we set out on an overcast and cold Nashville day to spend Christmas on Easter Island.
After our Galapagos trip, I jetted off to Bangkok for a little soul searching. Without my Meyers for several months, I couldn't wait to be back traveling with my #1 favorite globetrotter, My Survivorman!
We worked with Franny initially and then once we booked we worked with Phen. Franny was very patient and not pushy as we considered our choices. They both got back to us immediately when we had questions.
Expedition cruises are very weather dependent, we knew we were going to see Glaciers, Marine Life, Landscapes but just didn't know when and where. We had some rain, sleet and snow then followed by absolutely beautiful weather. The captain and expedition team were very conscientious for our safety as well as providing us with a fulfilling and educational experience.

Adventure Life made the whole trip process smooth and worry free from planning and throughout the entire trip. Communication was excellent and the trip to Chile and Easter Island was amazing. We were able to customize the entire trip and use the experience of other travelers to ensure each day was amazing.

Erin and Juliane have been very helpful. The planning has been smooth and stress-free. My concerns and questions have been answered on a timely manner. I was referred to a booking agent for flights that made it easier to plan international and local flights. There's also a Trip Planner website that provides good information as well as a single location for documents related to this trip.

Adventure Life planned a stunner of a trip for our family ONCE AGAIN! This is our 7th trip with Adventure Life. We chose the Chile North to South adventure with add-ons of Magdalena Island to see the penguins; Las Torres hotel in Patagonia; Calafate, Argentina to see the Perito Moreno glacier and finally, Buenos Aires. We were active every day! Biking in vineyards, trekking at 14,000 ft above sea level and seeing vicuña and vizcacha everywhere after having almost the entire El Tatio geyser park to ourselves, an evening tour viewing the stars and galaxies in the Atacama Desert, River Rafting and hiking between volcanoes and glacial lakes in the mountain lake region of Peurto Varas, hiking the French Valley, Las Torres and riding horses in Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, walking on the glacier and drinking glacial water and hearing those thunderous booms of ice calving at Perito Moreno in Calafate, Argentina and biking 30 miles through Buenos Aires to the suburbs where we kayaked the Tigre River Delta. So much fun!! I even wore my adult children out!!
