Patagonia - Day #14

 Patagonia - Day #14 - Friday, January 10th


It’s 8am local time in Miami, FL.  Back in the US!   2 flights down - 1 to go.  I depart for Denver in about 45 minutes. 


Our international flight went well - no issues and on time.  I got to use my new Global entry on arrival into Miami.  This was really nice and helped me bypass a huge line through Customs. 


I’ll sign off once I get into Denver for this trip.  I’m so thankful for an incredible adventure.  Patagonia is a place I’d highly recommend - some of the most stunning sites in the world. Until next time - make it count out there!


Later — 11:40am - waiting at baggage claim for my bag in Denver   All flights went great   Time for some rest before I re-engage in the working world!


Attaching a few pics as an overall highlight of the trip:  

































































Patagonia - Day #13

 Patagonia - Day #13 - Thursday, January 9th


1 flight down, 2 to go.  I’m currently sitting at a Starbucks in the Buenos Aires International Airport (EZE) at 6:25pm local time on Thursday, January 9th.  Our flight to Miami is scheduled to depart at 11:10pm.  We can only check-in for our flight at 7:10pm or later. 


So far so good today.  We had a nice breakfast at our hotel in El Calafate and then grabbed a 25 minute shuttle to the airport at 9am.   We checked in quickly and then grabbed a tea awaiting our 11:30am departure. 


The flight into Buenos Aires went well and arrived around 2:30pm.  After retrieving our luggage - we grabbed an Uber which transferred us to the International Airport.  This was a 45-minute transfer from the domestic airport.  Uber was about half the cost of a taxi - and more trustworthy in my opinion.  


We arrived around 4pm and have been resting/catching up on things the past 2 hours.  We’re getting ready to check-in for our flight and will grab dinner before our 11:10pm departure


Later ——-

It’s 10:15pm - we had a great dinner and Doug and Michael stopped in before boarding their flight to Houston - it’s a small world. Great to see them again!


Getting ready to board the flight into Miami.  We’ll be back in the US in about 9 hours.  


Stay strong out there!!
