The Itinerary

The itinerary is set for the next trip. We leave April 17th for Buenos Aires. We will spend a few days there (in La Recoleta); long enough for me to get my tango shoes and leather jacket and for Jerry to get his tango refresher course, it is on to Mendoza, heart of the Argentinian wine country by overnight bus. That should be interesting, to say the least. After tasting our way through Mendoza, we will take a seven-hour bus ride over the Andes. If we survive that, we will be in downtown Santiago, Chile for a few days. Santiago is another one of our favorite cities. We will then take the bus down to Vina del Mar, our lovely resort town, for a few days. We will then take a short train ride to Valparaiso, where we will board the beautiful Radiance of the Seas for a fifteen-day cruise up the west coast of South America to our own San Diego, California, our home for almost thirty years. After spending the day with family and friends, we will again board the Radiance for the next leg of the journey, an eleven-day cruise to Alaska, stopping in San Francisco, where we will again spend the day with our family. I will get all the warm clothes I can from my daughter and then it's on to Alaska and cruising the Inside Passage and ending up in Vancouver. There we will spend some few days in the Vancouver/Victoria/Seattle area before finally flying home. Packing is going to be hell.
