LAN and Cruceros Australis, Down to Chile Again

http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifIt was a very busy travel year, 2009, a close second to 2007. The last trip to an international destination is looking great, Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia. A few days in the Torres del Paine National Park, Chile and then boat from Puerto Natales to Ushuaia is the plan. On the way will explore glaciers, Cape Horn, and many stops at places along the way, two of which are the Straight of Magellan and Pia Fjord.

The ship is the Mare Australis and the trip put together by Cruceros Australis, now in their twentieth year of operations. I am flying to Santiago on Lan Airlines, one of my favorite airlines and will get a bit of time in Santiago, loved it this Sept. All in all an ambitious schedule but anticipation is building as I pack.
