Cartagena Colombia

Image
 It was a long travel day that started early. We left our hotel in Rio before 5am. We flew to Bogata, Colombia where we just barely made it through immigration/security to our gate in time for our flight to Cartagena. We arrived to our hotel just at check in time. We decided to make these four days in Cartagena mellow so we could have a relaxing end to our trip. The day we were traveling here was the same day Miranda was traveling back to NYC. She had been staying at our home since mid December. I was so thankful to have her there to cuddle our cats daily. Missing them a lot by this point.   We stayed at a semi all inclusive resort. It was beautiful and fairly fancy. Our room had a bedroom and a separate living room area with a table and couch. We also had two balcony areas. View from our bedroom  View from the living room balcony  After we got checked in and got settled in we went down and got our welcome drinks. Piña colada’s are always a good idea.   We took ...

Torres del Paine Chile (Patagonia stop 2)

On Tuesday morning Matt woke up early to return our rental car and we met Alejandro at the bus terminal. We took a bus ride to Puerto Natales. It was a scenic bus ride and the seats were for sure more comfortable than airplane seats. Once in Puerto Natales, We took a taxi to the rental car place and picked up our truck. First step was eating lunch. I was finally able to get a Chilean Completo- their fancy yummy hot dogs.  You can’t go wrong with adding avocado and mayo to a hot dog.   After lunch, we stopped by a grocery store to purchase all of the food for the next few days. We were going to be staying in an area that has no grocery stores and very few places to eat. We stopped to explore the waterfront area. Puerto Natales sits along one of the many fjords in southern Chile. It was so windy we could hardly stand without being blown over.  Next to the Puerto Natales sign they had a large statue of a Mylodon-an ancient ground sloth. Just out of town there is a ...

Lima-Miraflores

First off, about this blog.  The main purpose of creating this is to help me document our travels. Second is to help family and friends catch up with what we’re doing.  I will try to do a post for every place we go.  I will update when I can. It will NOT be on a daily basis.  Also, I’m doing this on my phone. There will be errors in grammar and spelling. I’m not going to worry about those. And we’re off! At about 3pm on Saturday December 28th we left all of our kids at home and began our adventure. Our first flight was to LAX and then after a short layover we began our overnight flight to Lima, Peru. Flights went well, hardly any sleep, but that was expected. A driver met us at the Lima airport and drove the 30 minutes, most of which was along the beach, to our hotel in the Miraflores area of Lima. It’s basically the beach area. Our hotel had so much charm with a few courtyard areas too.  Since it was only 9am, we dropped our bags at the hotel and walked the few...
