Home Again

We sat in the lounge till our flight was boarding and I had a nice cup of tea. They served dinner on the plane at around midnight, but it was not the best and I really didn’t eat much. I thought maybe a glass of Cabernet would help put me to sleep, but it was served ice cold and I didn’t drink it. Yuck!

They served breakfast right before we touched down in Miami and then we landed and went through customs. Going through security was a breeze with global entry and we picked up our luggage in record time and then turned it back in for the flight to Newark.

That flight of course was delayed about 30 minutes. What else is new with American Airlines? It seems the business class bathroom needed to be pumped out because it was clogged and the bathroom would not be in use during the trip.

I have to say, I was not impressed this trip with American Airlines and I believe I will only fly American if there is no other choice. From day one with the whole horrible debacle getting to Santiago and then this leg of the trip, where the flight attendants were not attentive at all, it was not the greatest experience. (As a matter of fact, on today’s flights, the attendants didn’t even care if people were buckled in or not for take off and landing. Most of the people around me were just sitting there…no buckle at all and no one came by to check.)

Well, be that as it may, air travel aside – we had a wonderful time in Argentina and Chile. The food was excellent, our guide Jon was wonderful, the people on the trip made the journey very enjoyable, and of course all the sites we saw and the people we met – just amazing. From Easter Island, to Patagonia, to Tierra del Fuego, to the Chilean fjords, to glacier alley, to Iguazú and the falls… what an adventure!

Below are photos taken by Jon and local guide.

Tune in for our next adventure. Adios for now!
