During our last few days in Argentina, we were trying to decide if we should go to Paraguay or stay in Argentina. We actually had a ticket to go to Paraguay that we purchased as part of a multi-leg ticket so it wasn’t going to cost us anything to add another country to our trip. [...]
Over a five-week period, we used Buenos Aires as our base returning to the city four times for a total of twelve days. BA has become one of my favorite cities in the world ranking up there with the likes of Barcelona, Prague, New York and of course -East Lansing.
I found that many of people [...]
Dear Gentle Readers,
The past week has been hard to write and update the blog because of the lack of internet access. I have five more posts to catch up to the Machu Picchu posts-which I promise are coming soon. Hopefully these two pictures from the Inca Trail will whet your appetite.
We woke up in our dorm room raring to finish the last part of our four-day hike in Patagonia. The day’s hike was another short five-hour hike that would take us to Gray’s Glacier and back to our home base. The rain was coming down hard so we decided to give it an hour to [...]

What is Mini Loco up to these days?
Mini Loco has made trips to Panama and Peru in the past two weeks. He was quite bored at the conference I went to in Panama. It looks like Peru is more his style. I just completed his first YouTube Video. Take a look…
We woke up on the morning of March 17, a little bit sore from our 12-hour march from the day before. We organized our packs and looked over the maps of where we needed to hike for the next day. We had heard the second point of the “W” hike had been difficult to see [...]
Many of you know that I was hoping to be selected to attend the Jimmy Carter Work Project with Habitat For Humanity in New Orleans during the second week of May. Patrick and I both put our applications in via the web. We had contemplated contacting a few of my contacts with Habitat For Humanity [...]
We arrived after our seventeen-hour bus ride into the city of Puerto Natales. It was the staging point for most hikes to Torres del Paine. It was still a two-hour bus ride to the national park from there but it was the biggest city by far near the park. From our friend, Nichola’s description the [...]
