Off On Our Great Adventure!

Steven took us to the airport in Fort Smith this morning after much shoving and sqeezing of luggage into the Pilot. By the amount of stuff we are taking, you'd think we were off to the moon! However, our excuses for taking so much stuff are that #1 they allowed 100 lbs per person, #2 we need to look good at all times and under all circumstances, and #3 we are women - so just ignore the first two reasons.

Really, we must be prepared for a tango show in Buenos Aires (90 degrees), hiking boots to walk among the penguins and sheep (40 degrees), viewing of iceburgs from a windy ship rail (30 degrees plus wind), winery tour in Santiago (80 degrees), fancy dinners (thus 4 sequeined outfits), swimsuits for lounging on board, and no telling what else!

We are pumped and ready to go! However.... we are currently being forced into a slow start with a 5 hour layover in the Dallas airport. Not so bad though as we spent part of it eating Mexican food and the rest playing with this new blog. We hope you will join us on the blogspot frequently as we will try to share special events and sights with you as often as we can.

We wish you were all here with us..... but we are also very excited to have these very precious days with just the two of us.

  6. Ms. Jean tried to post a comment but it wouldn't let her. But she said that she and Steven talked about you last night and they said that they already missed you a lot. And Mick and I are jealous. We want to be there with you. Please tell Ms. Doris that I love and miss her too. Have fun and be safe.
