Day 1
Santiago, Chile - We've Arrived!
March 27, 2023 in Chile ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
We've just arrive in Chile from St. Louis after about 24 hrs of travel (including our long layover in Dallas). South America is further than it looks on the map. It was 13 hrs flight time from Dallas to Santiago, that's about 4 hours longer than it would take to get to London!

We're super excited to be here at the start of a new adventure. We are here to purchase a used camper van that we'll use to tour South America. The current owner are picking us up at the airport. Here they come... OMG it's so much larger in person!Read more

Day 2
Orientation
March 28, 2023 in Chile ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F
We'll be spending this week getting to know the camper and finalizing paperwork. The owners Thijs and Rieneke were excited that we could arrive a week prior to their departure so they'd have time to learn as much as possible before hitting the road.Read more
Traveler They look like cool people!

Day 10
La Boca
April 5, 2023 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
We're still getting used to life in the little house. This morning Sam and I realized we had calls scheduled at the same time. I thought it might be too cold to take a call outside, but it turned out to be the perfect temp for a walking meeting. I caught a couple of pics for of the River Rapel along the way. For lunch Sam tried out the outdoor kitchen for the first time and we share a meal with our friends. I found this thoughtful message in the spice box that I bought from Penzey's before I left. I thought it was great reminder of one of our intentions for this trip, to connect and share with those we meet along the way.Read more
Love this! [Laurie]
