So another week has come and gone, and I continue to be amazed by how the time flies.  Today is my final day of school in Santiago, and perhaps my final day of school for the entire trip.  Overall, Santiago has been very enjoyable, although very brief.  Regarding school, I decided to do private classes for the week, since that's w...

Luego de una hora de atrazo partimos rumbo a china en un desastroso avion de Air Canada

I wish there was more I could say about Santiago. I mean, even I was disappointed by how little I acheived in Lima, and thought that Santiago would offer a more cosmopolitan city experience than the one we faced in Peru. OK, there had been a Starbucks, a Golden Arches and somewhere for Marge to get her french manicure updated, but it wasn't as f...

Balalalala bamba mi amigos!! Las especias son estupendas porque no se estropean: ahí están, en el armario,esperando a que alguien las utilice. Siempre resulta más barato comprarlas a granel que adquirir estos botes tan pequeños que venden en los supermercados, pero recordad que siempre hay que envasarlas en recipientes herméticos para que conser...

Well we are back to Santiago and city life.  What a difference between island life and city life.  It was so relaxing and chill on the island.  But honestly, it's a small island and I couldn't imagine living there my whole life.  Just too small.  Sadly I think it shows with the amount of alcohol abuse occurs on the islan...

Well judging by the additional few chest hairs that have recently sprouted, I must be a year older.  I turned 27 today and I must admit, I don't really feel any different.  I don't feel older, just strange to think that I am actually 27 and another year closer to the big 3 0.  I still love to joke around with Chelsea about how old...

Back in Santiago after a great 10 days traveling through the south of Chile with my parents. Stayed in great hotels, ate not-so-great food (including squid in it´s own ink), went on seemingly endless journeys in search of choripan, payed $70 in toll booth fees, but mostly took in the beauty of Chile and enjoyed each others company. Their first n...

Hi friends. As you can see we are now in Santiago.  Actually we arrived Fiday Jan 19, midday.  This was a specifically hard day, as we had prebooked a hotel with a packager.  Win some lose some.  Originally, this hotel was also offering airport pickup.  They were not willing to correct it.  So, $26 later we were dro...

We left Aukland at 5pm on monday, and arrived in Santiago at 12pm on monday, after 12 hours on a plane (during which we saw the comet over NZ). Time travel is possible, I tell you. Magic stuff.

Friday, December 29, 2006 Touring Santiago / A Disappearance / A Disaster Dear Readers: Two of our delayed passengers flying from Miami reach the hotel finally at about 9am this morning. But there is absolutely no word about the third passenger flying from Los Angeles. It appears that he was not on the flight, and will arrive tomorrow morning in...
