We're preparing to leave for our trip. Amy said yesterday that she wishes she could just wrap this week up in a box and keep it forever because this is all about the unknown. We've got one hostel reserved for our first two nights in Brazil... and after that we have no real serious plans aside from two plane tickets.
Here's the tentative plan so that I can look back on this later and laugh.
Week 1: Rio de Janeiro (arriving Sept. 5) and beaches between Rio and Sao Paolo.
Week 2: Catch a bus to Foz de Iguassu (the BIG waterfall), bus towards the coast and take the train from Curitiba to Paranagua, work our way to Florianopolis.
Week 3: S. Brazil through Uruguay
Week 4: Montevideo to Buenos Aires
Week 5: Flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego on Oct 8
Week 6: In and around Tierra del Fuego
Week 7: Tierra del Fuego and then bus to Torres del Paine National Park in Chile by Oct. 19
Week 8: Torres del Paine
Week 9-14: ??? Up through Argentina, a trip to Argentina coast, maybe stopping to see the island of Chiloe in Chile, making our way towards Valparaiso to see Amy's host family. This could also include a trip to Bolivia if budgets/time permits. Flying home on Dec. 18
We've spent the last couple of days running around picking up supplies. I put together a med kit so hopefully we're covered for everything from stomach aches to blisters. We're picking Cortney up this afternoon so she can join us for our last night in the states, tonight. Last thing to do is say bye to our friends and family here. SO EXCITED FOR TOMORROW!
