Skipping ahead to start on a good note the food and wine here is amazing! The beef and pork is out of this world and the local wine is exquisite! I may try to get a few bottles back, but it is proving to be more of a problem than it is worth. Going back to the beginning the flight was horrible! Nobody should have to travel for 24 straight hours. That is too long for anyone to sit in a seat and/or layovers. The ship I'm going to be on is awesome and the crew is great. We have gone out the past two nights and everyone is enjoying themselves before we are stuck with ship food and now alcohol! I've been recently informed that internet access on the ship is going to be more difficult than expected. Out individual computers aren't going to be able to access the internet so the only connection will be through the few on board computers connect to skynet, which is equivalent to a 56k telephone connect. In short it is unlikely I will be able to skype, upload pictures, or regularly update my blog. This is rather disappointing, but I will have to spread word through minimal emails and word of mouth. Everything else will come after the trip in one big chunk!
Adios,

Great report. I am not surprised about the wine and meat in Chile, all home grown and fresh. Too bad about the internet connectivity. We will survive hearing whatever updates you can squeeze out. Keep up the blog, daily entry will be wonderful for you and the rest of us. Love, DAD
