Tango in Buenos Aires

July 13, 2010 – 3:27 pm

I know this is a bit last-minute, but we couldn’t pass this up; we found out about the Tango Festival and World Championships that take place every August in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and decided to put together an itinerary.  This trip is another addition to our Festival series in Central and South America. Stay at [...]

December 2: The Falklands

December 3, 2009 – 12:37 pm

An absolutely stunning day today! Due to departing Antarctica a half day early, the Expedition Leader requested permission for an additional landing in the Falklands. The landing was at Steeple Jason Island and the highlight was the largest Black Browed Ablatross nesting site in the world. Thousands of the enormous birds covered the beach and [...]

On Toward the Falklands

December 1, 2009 – 5:14 pm

Yesterday’s attempt at the Shetland Islands was a bust, again due to weather.  Winds were blowing hard, and word was that all the ships in the area that had planned similar visits canceled their trips as well.  This meant that we immediately turned toward the Falkland Islands and have now been at sea for over [...]

Day 4 at Sea: First Emperor Penguin Sighting

November 30, 2009 – 1:05 pm

This morning I woke to ice on three sides of the ship. Being trapped with ice all around made for a wonderfully peaceful night of sleep and I felt energized all day. Weather around the ship was beautiful – sun poking through the sky and relatively warm. Unfortunately, 20 miles away, surrounding Snow Hill, was [...]

Day 2 at Sea: Crossing the Drake Passage

November 23, 2009 – 4:55 pm

The ship has been rocking back and forth since around 2 am this morning. Swells look to be about 12 feet high, and the crew calls this the Drake Lake. This is versus the Drake Shake which is what I’m hoping for on the return trip. A few of my fellow travelers hope for the [...]

Brian Takes an Antarctica Expedition

November 10, 2009 – 12:38 pm

After ten years of working in the adventure travel industry and bringing thousands of friends, family and clients to the far edges of Latin America – to such sites as Bolivia’s Salt Desert, Huarani tribal territory, Belize’s subterranean caves, and more – the edges of Latin America weren’t so sharp and unknown to me anymore. I decided it was time to journey to the edges of my known world once again, and Antarctica would provide that first edge.
