Our Argentina & Antarctica Adventure begins!


December 14 - Our adventure begins!
Roadrunner was about 10 minutes or so late picking us up as the driver was new and didn’t know where Coronado Bay Condos were. He was told to turn at the defunct Tryp hotel when he should have been told to turn just after the Tryp. So, we were getting slightly nervous, but all was well and he was a pleasant gentleman from Canada and we had a nice chat during the drive.
We arrived at Panama’s Tocumen Airport and had a Cinnabon to tide us over until they served us lunch on the plane as our flight departed at noon and arrived in Buenos Aries at 9:18p. The flight was just over 7 hours. The airport had some pretty Christmas decorations.

 
Sr. Fabian was waiting for us holding a sign with our name at the Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport, which is always a relief when you book something in advance. He drove us to the Urban Suites Hotel in the Recoleta area. It’s a small Boutique hotel with large rooms and the bed was comfy and the shower had plenty of water pressure and hot water! The famous cemetery is right across the street and we got good views from upstairs, since our room didn’t have a view of it.

We were exhausted and unpacked a tiny bit and went to bed. We meet our guide at 9:30 tomorrow morning.
