Leaving on a jet plane

We are just sitting at the Edmonton Airport. With the US government shut down and flight cancellations due to a shortage of air traffic controllers, I was worried that are trip would be delayed but everything seems to be a go. We have an 18 hour trip ahead of us. Edmonton-Minneapolis-Atlanta- Beunos Aires. It is a long trip. We arrive tomorrow at 9 am. Still it was 7 hours shorter than flying through Toronto. We will spent a week in Beunos Aires then fly to Patagonia for a week and spend the last week in Uruguay. Three nights Montevideo and then we will rent a car and spend 3 days driving in Uruguay before taking a ferry back to BA and flying home. I will post every few days so please keep checking in on us. Comments are always appreciated. Oh yes the name of the trip is a parody of the song Don't Cry for me Argentina from the musical about Evita Peron, the wife of the President of Argentina Juan Peron.Read more
