Thursday, January 15th – Friday, January 16th, 2026 World Tour Days: 440- 441 We arrived at night and after some technical issues with our key pad for our room we got all checked in. We had two full days of exploring in our last stop in Chile, and last international stop! I think I speak for both of us when I say we were ready to be wrapping up. The hotel breakfast was awesome with a self serve small buffet as well as made to order eggs. Nick and I both helped ourselves to the cookie plate a few times.…

Saturday, January 10th – Wednesday, January 14th, 2026 World Tour Days: 435 – 439 Day 1: Arrival & Hiking Rano Kau Volcano Crater As most of our family knows, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.

The bus drivers in Patagonia are too nice in my opinion. Luckily, the drive was short and we didn’t make any plans for the day. We arrived in El Chaltén at 11:30am, our last stop in…

Sunday, January 4th – Monday, January 5th, 2026 World Tour Days: 429 – 430 Bus Journey Back to Argentina Breakfast was quieter than usual without Emily, Gabe, Deb, and Jeff. They had left the day before and were back home in Iowa and Washington. Nick and I tried to take advantage of one last breakfast at our hotel. Avocado toast and cookies really hit the spot. Nick must’ve enjoyed breakfast as much as I did because he agreed to take a taxi to the bus station, an uncommon luxury! Many people showed up right as the bus was supposed to…
