Today is our last day in the apartment. We have been cleaning and packing all day. I'm totally exhausted. We're staying with our friends Alex and Naoko until Thursday, and then we'll go across the border to Argentina for one night to renew our travel visas. Then we'll leave up to the north of Chile, hitting Pan de Azucar, Bahia Iglesia and La Serena, back down to Santiago over 20 days. We will be camping along the way, and have bought a little camping stove. Our flight to the south of Chile is on November 22nd. We're flying to Punta Arenas, and will take a bus down to Ushuiaia, the southern most city in the world. From there we'll be bouncing back and forth between Argentina and Chile, camping and staying in hostels, to make our way back up to Santiago and hopefully spend New Year with friends in Valparaiso. After that, we'll be either flying or busing to Buenos Aires to start the big trek around the continent! It will be up the Brazilian coast, along the north coast and then down into Columbia and Bolivia, and over to Peru. We won't be returning to Santiago until our money runs out, which we are thinking will be in July. I have a family reunion, hopefully the first week of August somewhere in the US, and am hoping to make it back for that. Hopefully the reunion will be on a lake in Kentucky, which would help me be able to afford it! But we'll be spending about a week in Santiago in July to see all our friends again before heading back to the US.

I will be blogging and posting pictures as much as I can! I'm anticipating it being pretty hot and sweaty the whole time! But looking forward to it.
