First off, apologies as i know that the format of this post will be
wonky at best. I'm not even sure all of the photos will appear as this
is the first time posting multiple photos on Blogger via email. Oh
well, everyone will survive I'm sure.
I'm near the edge of the earth in Patagonia (it's flat, right?) and
the edge of my wits. I'm supposed to be getting on a ship to go around
the Cape Horn in a matter of two hours. At the moment I'm lying sick
in bed with mismatched Jammie's and really bad hair.
In the past three days I've gone from feeling fine to awful to fab to
terrible x2 or 3. I had a 'real' post 80% written with photos & links
but I got clobbered yet again with aches, cold/hot, head & tummy aches
& I had to stop. Bummer, as it seems the best time for me to write a
post is when I am several thousand miles from my To-Do list and
surrounded by four unfamiliar walls.
Assuming I make it on the ship (Derek is out buying me Dramamine)
we'll be without Internet for days (Derek is out buying himself
Ativan). This should be interesting!
Here are some photos I already had in my phone library... Things to point out:
The first collage is from Buenos Aires: we walked around "The Paris of
South America", took busses & trains, gawked at the fanciest McCafe
I've seen & went to a "milonga" where real people gather to do the
tango.
The second shot showed two highlights from El Calafete in Argentine
Patagonia: eating ice cream and visiting Perito Morena Glacier (not
necessarily in that order, maybe).
The third photo is our hotel in El Calafete called Design Suites (a
living, breathing art gallery). You'll undoubtedly appreciate the
photo of me sick in bed just in case you don't know what that looks
like.
Finally and most importantly, someone needs to bottle and sell
Patagonian water for use in conditioners. My hairs' glory peaked in El
Calafete and it's all downhill from here. El Sigh.
Have a wonderful New Year to all of you!
Things That Don’t Really Matter

We spend too much of our lives caring about things that shouldn’t suck up
all our energy and time. You might disagree with some of these, but here’s

GAAH, I hope you feel better!
sounds like an amazing trip so far.
Cheers and happy new year!
did you have a case of traveler's gut? Is that why you are in bed? Jk. Hope not! Looks beautiful! Enjoy and keep the pictures coming.
Kris- thanks!
Linds- Yes, gut, chills or too hot (depending) aches, headache. Then Boom, I'm fine JUST KIDDING sort of thing. At first they thought it was the ice/water I was drinking but now I'm not really so sure. I used to think I could eat a plate glass window without harm, but perhaps no. :-)
I'm so sorry you've been sick, Deb. I think this bus is traveling the world because EVERYONE I know is sick. Out of 28 people present at my family's Christmas Eve dinner, only FOUR (including me!) are not VIOLENTLY ill. Can you believe that?!
Your hair is indeed gorgeous. Maybe you can bottle some of that water and bring it up my way when you come to visit ;)
HUGS!
Grrr...vacation sick...very bad but at least you're in gorgeous locales and have a trusty hubby (errr...excepting the ativan!). There's always Jose Limon just in case (:
I was going to mention your gorgeous hair despite sickness and hiking before I read about the magic potion (:
Hope your feeling better lady! Hugs, have a wonderful New Year x x x
I'm sorry you aren't feeling your best! It must have hit you after those pictures were taken because you look positively stunning Deb. Or perhaps you are one of those lucky people who still looks good when they don't feel well.
Patagonia looks like it's straight out of a dream!
Oh no! Chris is sick too, and he's NEVER sick. I'm fighting it off. Hope you make it to your next destination and feel better soon!
Hooray for an update post! I felt so sorry for you when you were laying sick in bed. That is no way to spend vacation or the holidays. I hope you are on the up and up and uppppp. And no throwing up. I want a personal update on the food sitch, when you have a minute of course :) Love you so much and miss you!!!
OMG feel better!!!!!! i've been having a bit of the stomach bug too but i mean i'm at my home and you're at the end of the earth so obvi you win haha GET BETTER AND GET ON THAT BOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxo
Oh no! Parasite or bacteria maybe? Get better and stay better! But, couldn't be a more beautiful place to be sick, righ?
I hope you are feeling better - your trip looks so amazing. I confess I immediately looked up cruises to Patagonia after seeing your pictures.
I think your hair looks fabulous in these photos, but that's just me.
Feel better my friend. Miss you lots!
Oh Deb. I miss you too much.
Come home already!
I loved seeing you pop in to my instagram feed. I miss you so much, I've been reading all your super old posts. the ones with your dad and everything. Just know that you had an anxious little bugger waiting to smother you when you get back (that would be me and the kitties).
Absolutely love your hair.
I am sorry you aren't feeling well. Hope you are better now.
Miss you!
oh, i hope you're feeling better and travelling (and shampooing) are going a little easier! :) i love these pics - i can live vicariously through you since i can't travel this year!
