A New Adventure Begins


It’s been over two years since we returned from our world cruise. My blog/journal has been dormant, however, we have done some traveling during the last couple of years. Our major trip after the world cruise was a trip to Scotland and England. I didn’t blog during that trip and I now regret it. I discovered that I retain so much more detail when I take the time to reflect on our travels. While we enjoyed our time in the United Kingdom immensely, I find I don’t remember what we did when as clearly as I would like.

Of course, the benefit of a long cruise adventure is that there is a lot of down time to write when we are at sea. Land travels, at least for us, are busier. I will, hopefully, be disciplined enough during our upcoming travels to find time to post.

So, right now we are flying to our first travel adventure of the year. We’re traveling with Road Scholar on two consecutive trips. The first one is Wonders of Chile and Argentina: Patagonia, Iguazu Falls and Splendid Cities (Program No. 20789RJ if you’re interested in checking it out in detail). This journey will take us across the continent from Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We will travel by bus travel, ferries, and internal flights during the two weeks we are there. At the end of the trip, we’ll spend about 9 days on our own in Buenos Aires. We have some adventures planned there, but mostly we’ll be relaxing and exploring at our own pace.

Part two of our travels takes us even further south to Antarctica! Again, Road Scholar is taking us on the trip “Land Ho!” Icebergs and Penguins in Otherworldly Antarctica (Program Number 23705RJ). We’ll be traveling on the Albatros vessel Ocean Victory and heading towards a journey that, weather cooperating, will include Zodiac rides on sea and hikes on land.

More posts, hopefully, to follow!

  1. Hi Brian & Kristine! How wonderful that you are traveling to the southern cone of South America. Tammie and I have signed up for a “Road Scholar” trip for next September. We are going on “The Greatest Road in Europe: Camino de Santiago.” I hope you have a chance to see a Tango Show in Buenos Aires (San Telmo area–we like “La Ventana”). Also there are some great restaurants off of the tourist spectrum that are terrific. I like “La Gran Taberna,” which is located behind the big Congress building at the corner of Hipolito Yrigoyen and Riobamba. It’s a typical “Bodegón” where the menu is enormous and the food great. Please note that my preferred email address is douglas.ruffle@gmail.com
