Ushuaia? Doesn't that mean "Frozen foreigners"?


We are off to Ushuaia and our great Argentina road trip now. Ushuaia is the southernmost city in Argentina and except for a small naval port across the channel in Chile, is the southernmost city in the world. We were going try to take a boat down to Antarctica, we'll see. I'm stoked because it's around the same latitude as the middle of Canada so it should be chilly and we are going to camp! There will be no hostels for this group because we want to save as much money as we can. We really don't know what we are going to hit up on the way back so we aren't to sure of how long we'll be gone. We are think it will take about three to four weeks and this is all we have planned for now: A) Take a bus to Buenos Aires tonight. B) Fly down to Ushauia. C) Head North. There are a few places we want to see, like Torres del Paine in Chile, but after that there is no set plan. It's all fly by the seat of our pantalones. We are going to try and write every few days but no promises..... so if you don't hear from us in four week someone better start lookin.....
