Hi everyone! Happy holidays to you all. I am so happy to be back from my Adventure! It was amazing but also a challenge. We traveled over 7,300 miles (one way) into some of the remotest places I have ever been. We started with a trip to a fishing lodge in Patagonia. It was an 11 hour flight to Buenos Aires, a 7 hour layover, another 3 hour flight, all followed by a 6 hour drive on dirt roads into the middle of nowhere! We saw lots of guanacos (relatives of the llama), some beautiful black necked swans in a lake, and not much else in the dry flat plains. But the rainbow trout were huge. My husband caught an 18 pound rainbow and that doesn't even make the leader board. It was amazing, like being on the moon, but sadly marred by us getting a stomach bug and losing several days of fishing. After our time at the lodge was up (and we were thankfully feeling better) it was another 6 hour drive back to the airport and a 3 hour flight to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Argentina is enormous, and the climates are so different. Ushuaia, in Tiera del Fuego, is in a forest, and we had an amazing tour of the national park. From there we boarded a ship to the Antarctic peninsula. It takes 3 days to pass out beyond Cape Horn and cross the Drake Passage, some of the notoriously roughest seas in the world. The weather forecast was so bad our departure was delayed 24 hours, but we eventually got underway. I was taking seasick medication (I get very seasick) so I did ok, but a large number of passengers were sick on the crossing, and it was not considered particularly bad. When we finally made it to Antarctica the seas were calmer and I saw more snow and ice, in more forms and colors, than I have ever imagined. We did not see iceberg A23 but we saw some plenty big ones, and on the land the layers upon layers of snow were unreal. Apparently the snow and ice are over a mile deep on mainland antarctica. We were able to walk on the land after following strict procedures designed to prevent the spread of avian flu. I went snowshoeing and my husband went kayaking. We saw three kinds of penguins in their colonies, which were unbelievable. We also saw pelagic birds, seals and whales. The lecturers on the ship were great and I learned a ton about the animal life there. Eventually it was time to return so it was another 3 days through the Drake Passage, this time even rougher than the first, with dishes crashing in the dining room. I wasn't exactly sea sick, but I wasn't exactly ok either. I didn't have a lot of appetite and was very careful about what I ate. When we finally disembarked we made the 3 1/2 hour flight back to Buenos Aires and then back to New York. Unfortunately I got COVID on the way home and spent another week sick. I can't say it was the most comfortable trip I ever took! I was vaguely sick for most of the trip, and when I got home discovered I had lost 4 pounds, in spite of the dessert menu on the ship! But still it was amazing and I'm so glad I did it. But I'm also happy to be home now for the holidays. Merry Christmas to all!

@Janet: Sounds like an amazing adventure, although not one I would probably ever take, so kudos to you both for your adventuresome spirit. So sad that you had so many days of flu and Covid to boot. Were other people on your trip sick aside from sea sickness? So glad you are home safely. As they say, there is no place like home. Merry Christmas to you as well.

Not quite the Christmas I expected. 60° and wjphikemrpwrestking with my lab, I got a case of vertigo. After trying three home procedures the 1/2 sumersault seemed to resolve it. I was definitely walking to the left. Managed to salvage dinner and get my pup out for 2 one mile walks.,

That's goal for @cpanus and me! Chris, glad you are feeling better.
@clepant - yikes to vertigo. I hate it but the Epley maneuver works for me.0
