And so it begins..

The plan has commenced..H has booked our cruise with Seabourn Cruises. We leave Valparaiso, Chile on Dec. 5th for a 17 day cruise around the southern tip of South America. The adventure is slowly growing, like a baby in utero...first Chile, then Beunos Aires, Rio De Janeiro..we are in training for a 9 week Odyssey. Excited, happy and a little apprehensive about the whole thing. South America is beautiful although parts of it are unsafe. Trying to book tours, etc. from afar can be daunting but hey, H is doing much of the planning, while I try and score some business class airline tickets for 70% off. Not having much luck with this-we may have to settle for "Economy Plus" seats and sleep in a semi curled up position for the 15 hour trip.

This is my dream: to spend a month in each of our the top ten favorite cities around the world. Buenos Aires is the first stop for this agenda. We rented a condo for a month there over Christmas and New Years. Our anniversary is January 1st at midnight so we(H) will never forget. As we blow into our little horns, toast our sparkling water and sing "Auld Lang Syne", we bring in a new year our marriage and relationship. Through the years I have appreciated my hubby more and more. I read once that the secret to a good marriage was to always be learning something new about your mate. I believe this to be true!

I am committed to blogging, yet once again because I want our travels to be remembered as my aging brain is losing memory cells by the minute.. :)

Stay tuned as the plans get solidified, I get lists going and we learn Spanish from Rosetta Stone.

Adios!
