Sullivan and Suzy take off for Argentina! (Sullivan Peraino)
Today's the day! South America adventure take 2. There are five flights between Missoula and our first destination - Mendoza, Argentina. This is the second time my Mom and I have attempted this Argentina & Uruguay trip. Last year, we made it as far as Los Angeles, where I burst an eardrum on the final domestic flight. But never fear! We're back at it with enough decongestants to fill a drug store and a whole lot of enthusiasm.
We're leaving Missoula, Montana on a warm day, 45F! While this heat wave has allowed us to trek to the airport without our down jackets, I'm ready for Mendoza's forecast of 90F and sunny.
The only thing separating us is a brief overnight in Los Angeles and 16 hours of flight time. Upon arrival we are going to taste the region’s malbec wines, visit the tallest peak in the Americas, and learn to cook traditional Mendocino cuisine. Then we’re off to Buenos Aires for a look at the city life, and will finish the trip exploring the coast of Uruguay. Buen viaje!
I spent 2 entire days trying to find my Alaska small boat trip, with no success. Then Erin from Adventure Life gave me 4 choices on the same day I contacted her. She was caring and very efficient. I'm very excited about the cruise she found for me.

Everything about our Galapagos experience was top-notch. I highly recommend this trip if you like be active. Everyone from the planners to the guides to the crew set us up to experience and soak in everything the Galapagos has to offer. They took care of every detail so we could learn and enjoy.

We had an amazing trip. The accommodations of our hotel first 3 nights and the accommodations of the ship were perfect. Our guides were amazing. They went snorkeling with us everyday and took amazing pictures and pointed out various species of fish. On the land adventures, they explained everything about the islands and animals that we were looking for and seeing. They also took amazing photos and videos that they shared with us in a whats app group with the entire ship. This gave us the ability to upload our own video and pictures along with other shipmates so we all got these great photos from everyone. It was a once in a lifetime trip that left us with many amazing memories and very possible we would consider going back.
