I cannot believe I have been here for two months! This time is really going by super fast, our Spring Break begins tomorrow! I wanted to write a quick post as I leave for Patagonia in the southernmost region of this country. I am having a little bit of traveling anxiety, as I am known to have, before I embark on what will be a hugely incredible trip. I have a strong desire to sleep in the clothes I plan on wearing tomorrow even though my flight isn’t until 9:50am. Those of you who have lived/live with me know that this is something strange that I do!
Anyways, enough about my quirks. I just wanted to give a quick run through of where I will be over the next 11 days! Before my scrapes and bruises from my last camping adventure have faded, we will be heading down to Punta Arenas and making our way over to Puerto Natales. From there we go to the Parque Nacional Torres del Paine and will be backpacking through the infamous “W” trek. We will then be taking a hop-skip-and-a-jump over to Argentina to El Calafate to the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares (What is my life! I can’t believe I will be bouncing over to Argentina like I am going to New Jersey!). Next we head back to Punta Arenas where we will hopefully make it to Isla Magdelena to see PENGUINS! Finally we conclude with a guided kayak tour through the Strait of Magellan.
Obviously all of this is not set in stone, what I am most looking forward to is (Mom close your eyes) the adventure of it all, the unknown that lies ahead! Right now I am packing up my sweet hiking sack, resisting the temptation to pack more, and forcing myself to put pajamas on instead of my plane outfit. Safe travels to me and I look forward to telling you all about what happens next!
