"Success is the journey, not the destination." ~Arthur Ashe Reading this reminded me of that quote and I love that you've made it happen from your very first encounter. This is going to be so much fun to follow! I noted your departure date incorrectly in my calendar reminder so, belatedly, "Bon Voyage!"
Hooray the adventure begins! I so enjoyed our long phone chat before you will be unavailable for the next couple of months! Your detailed planning is paying off and you are getting the most of you time there with the personal guide for the city. Tomorrow you will be on your way to the southernmost city in the world where you will meet up with fellow sailor mates. How exciting! Mark is keeping me closely updated on things here. The Secret is working!!!!
Travel Wishes Travel safe, dear friend, and come home hale and hearty. Remember a ll (double L) in Argentina is almost a hard J sound,,, Belles Artes is more like Bajes Artes, great museum on Libertador, close to your hotel. Stock up on protien with that buttery tender beef and velvety malbec, there are many Italian immigrants that make up the Bs As population so pizza and Italian foods are great, and your breakfast is likely "media lunas", little half moon croissants, with dulce de leche caramel, along w great coffee. Remembef to HOLD TIGHT! LOVE YOU and wish you FAIR WINDS and CALM SEAS, Gail of the seas
questioning his sanity you are crazy. the trip sounds adventurous enough, but not being able to wash you underwear?? that's uncivilized. be sure to take pictures when you get off the boat. I want to see the old salt look!!
What sanity??? Yes, agree, crazy is putting it mildly! I figure no more difficult than growing up on a farm with a large family! Will need to take Depends for sure! Ha! Luckily, I will be able to do sink clothes washing if necessary.
Haircare I got a flashback of you in DBs cabin w her underwear drying all around you as she cut your hair on a long sailing venture... for sure we need "after" pics, before you see Mark and he fixes you all up!
Haircare Flashback OMG...thanks a lot for the memory flasher, especially the repressed vision of the drying panties! To avoid such a situation this voyage, I am taking a small rechargeable cordless clippers. Without my dream hairdresser as the weeks advance, I WILL be turning into a real old salt before the crew's eyes.
Sail On SeaGale Not sure how brave when I can't sleep all night. Will have to dream about Bloody Marys as have read only beer & wine are served at the bar...not to complain.
OMG! Wow, Walt. You will need time to decompress after this trip! It will be an amazing unforgettable adventure for you. We will all be thinking of you the whole time. Great that you are doing a journal so you can share your adventures with us later. I pray for your safety. - Love, Bone
