No pink sports jackets with rolled up sleeves. Nor is there a carrot topped, sunglass sporting detective with a propensity for tilting his head when he speaks. I”m just passing through Miami en route to Buenos Aires. My vice is ice – Big Ice.
By the time I arrive in Ushuaia in the late evening of Friday 13th, I’ll have been on the road for 36 hours. Does it always have to be that way? No…I could have done it in under 30 hours. There are two ways to reach Ushuaia by air, through BA, like I’m doing, or through Santiago, Chile, which I’ll do on the way home.
Getting to either is relatively simple, as they are international gateways. The thing you might not know is that the leg from BA to USH is usually on a domestic connection that stops at a number of small towns in southern Patagonia. If the weather is great, you’ll see pampas spread below for miles. Stunning. From Santiago, there may be a stop in Punta Arenas, before arriving in USH.
You really should count on taking at least 24 hours to arrive in Ushuaia and to return home when you are planning your Antarctic expedition.
Great to hear from you again. Am following the blog with great interest.
You must be arriving in Ushuaia around now – trust that you have an interesting time there and sleep well!
Much love x
