We leave tomorrow!


It still doesn't seem real, but tomorrow at 2:30pm, I leave San Francisco. After a brief layover in Houston, I'll be on my way to Buenos Aires for a month-long adventure in Argentina.

I'll be traveling with my best friend Jerica, who will be co-authoring this blog with me. So far, we have only a rough idea of where our travels will take us. We'll start out in Buenos Aires, enjoy the city for a few days, then most likely fly down to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. We'll then work our way back up to Buenos Aires by bus over the next few weeks, staying in hostels and camping out beautiful national parks.

Of course, we know that no guidebook can ever dictate the "best" way to experience a new place, so we'll be heavily relying on advice from locals, other travelers, and our own gut feelings to direct us.

Updates to this blog may be few and far between. While we want to share this experience with everyone, we also don't want to spend too much time staring at computer screens (that's part of the whole "getting away" concept, right?). If you'd like to be notified of updates as they are posted, you can subscribe here: http://groups.google.com/group/argentinadventure/subscribe (note that you'll have to create a Google account if you don't already have one).

Even if we're not online that much, emails of support and encouragement are always appreciated. :) Wish us luck!

This is awesome, David. Coincidentally, I was reading about the mountain biking trip across the Andes a couple of days back(chile to peru through bolivia and arg.)and I wish I could do that sometime. This should be a wonderful experience too. Have fun and take care.
