                    <title>Ushuaia Argentina</title>
                    <description>We arrived in Ushuaia on around 800 Tuesday evening. But the Carnival Splendor was pinned to the dock due to high winds and we could not get in. When we awoke Wednesday morning we were now docked to the pier and is was a beautiful day. Ushuaia is the capital of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego and the southernmost city in the world. Ushuaia is located in a wide bay on the southern coast</description>

                    <description>Tuesday morning we woke up safely nestled behind Lennox Island in Chile. Later that morning we raised the anchor and sailed around Cape Horn. Conditions around Cape Horn were pretty bleak but considering the weather it was amazing we were able to do it at all.Later Tuesday afternoon we started our transit up the Beagle Channel. One of the first things we saw was the shipwreck of the bible study s</description>

                    <description>On Monday we crossed the turbulent Drake Passage. We were scheduled to cross on Tuesday but due to a severe storm that was approaching we left Antarctica early to get a 20 hour head start on the storm. While the crossing wasn't exactly smooth it would have been far worse had we waited and crossed on Tuesday as originally planned.</description>

                    <title>Antarctica Neumayer Channel</title>
                    <description>We spent most of Sunday in the Neumayer Channel and the Gerlache Strait. The Gerlache Strait is a channelstrait separating the Palmer Archipelago from the Antarctic Peninsula. Neumayer Channel is 16 miles long and about 1.5 miles wide separating Anvers Island from Wiencke Island. There were countless icebergs of all shapes and sizes. It wasn't a very clear day but the landscape was no less impr</description>

                    <description>Saturday morning as we were approaching Hope Bay there was a thick fog and you couldn't see much of anything. But when we got there at 730 A.M. the fog lifted and there was beautiful sunshine. This is the tip of the actual continent of Antarctica. Up until now we had been visiting islands. Hope Bay in the Antarctic Sound. The large research base is Esperanza Station. Built in 1975 the base house</description>

                    <description>Friday morning we arrived at our first scenic stop in Antarctica Elephant Island. This is my second visit to Antarctica. On New Years Eve 2006 I took a 12hour scenic flight out of Sydney Australia. We spent four hours circling the frozen continent aboard a Qantas 747. The plane never landed though so this is my first time here at ground or sea level.Elephant Island is an icecovered mountaino</description>

                    <description>Thursday was a day at sea as we made our way from the Falkland Islands to the Antarctic Peninsula. We started seeing some ice late in the day as we were sailing through the Southern Ocean.</description>

                    <description>We sailed into the Port William a large inlet on the east coast of East Falkland island shortly after sunrise. The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean located 300 miles from the coast of Argentina. They consist of two main islands East Falkland and West Falkland together with 776 smaller islands. Stanley on East Falkland is the capital. The islands are a selfgov</description>

                    <description>This Tuesday was the second of two sea days as we made our way to the Falkland Islands. It was a nice day but much cooler day than yesterday so I couldn't spend the day lying out on deck like I did yesterday. </description>

                    <title>A Day At Sea</title>
                    <description>This Monday was the first of two sea days on the way to the Falkland Islands. It would also be the last warm day as we were heading for a MUCH cooler climate. I spent a lot of the day out on deck relaxing in the sunshine. Early in the day as I was doing my laps around the prominade deck I saw literally hundreds of dolphins flying through the water.In the evening it was the first formal night and </description>

                    <title>Montevideo Uruguay</title>
                    <description>Our first port came on day two of the cruise in Montevideo Uruguay. It was a tight squeeze for our large ship at the small pier. It was a beautiful warm sunny day. Montevideo is the largest city the capital and chief port of Uruguay with a population around 1.3 million. The epicenter of Montevideo's cultural life is located in the socalled Old City a place where the past and the present </description>

                    <description>Saturday morning we said goodbye to our two outstanding tour directors Zeca and Marcia. We then had a tour of Buenos Aires before boarding our ship around noon. It was lackluster tour with only two stops. Our first stop was at La Recoleta Cemetery. This is a beautiful and historical cemetery. The Cemetery includes graves of some of the most influential and important Argentinians including severa</description>

                    <title>Buenos Aires</title>
                    <description>Friday morning we had to cross the border from Brazil into Argentina yet again. As usual the Argentina custom agents went at their usual snail pace. We got to the small airport in Puerto Iguazu Argentina around noon and had to wait a couple hours for our flight to Buenos Aires. We landed at the airport near downtown very late in the afternoon. By the time we got checked in at the hotel there was </description>

                    <title>Iguassu Falls Day Two</title>
                    <description>Thursday morning we drove across the border to view the falls from the Argentina side. The Argentina custom officials go at their own speed and needlessly delay this process. Our local guide Wilson was nearly arrested when he had the nerve to complain about the rediculous delay. When we finally got to Argentina side of the falls we had to take a couple trains to the Devil's Throat Overlook. We m</description>

                    <description>Wednesday morning it was off to the airport for our TAM Airlines flight to Foz do Iguau Brazil. As we landed at the small Foz do Iguau Airport it was pouring rain. There were no jetways so we got wet. We were greeted at the airport by Wilson our local guide. It was a 30 minute drive to our hotel inside the national park. By the time we had gotten to the park the rain had subsided to just a </description>

                    <description>On Tuesday morning we started an eight hour tour of the city of Rio de Janeiro Brazil with our tour director Zeca. Zeca was from Rio and would be with us all five days and did an outstanding job. Our first stop was at Corcovado where we rode the train to the top of the mountain. Atop the mountain stands the inspiring Christ the Redeemer statue. Unfortunately visability on top of the mountain was</description>

                    <title>Rio Day One</title>
                    <description>After my nine hour flight from Atlanta I landed at Galeo International Airport a little before 1000 A.M. It was a warm and humid day in Rio. The middle of summer here in the southern hemisphere. The tour guide from Princess Cruises was there to greet me right on time after I had cleared customs. I was taking a 5 day precruise land tour starting here in Rio de Janeiro. There were several of us </description>

                    <description>I began my South America vacation by flying to Atlanta. I had a ten hour layover between flights so I rented a car and drove into downtown. In was a beautiful sunny winter day nice and warm compared to what I had left back in Indianapolis. Once in downtown I went to the top of the Westin Peachtree Hotel for a nice view of the city. It is the secondtallest allhotel skyscraper in the Western Hemi</description>
