Well not exactly on the road, more like up, up and away. We are currently on our way from LAX for EZE also known as Buenos Aires, Argentina. First we have to stop at JFK in NYC so I thought I’d SMT (Share My Thoughts) while relaxing up here about 35,000 feet above the Earth’s surface. I just love the fact that I can connect from the plane. Patrice and I were fortunate to get upgraded to Business Class so this should be a fun leg. I was just wondering, do they serve those fudge sundaes for breakfast?
Thank you to the many friends who have asked when we are going on vacation, telling me that you look forward to my ramblings online. You are very kind and it still amazes me that anyone wants to read this except my dear and wonderful mother.
Hopefully this trip will be less eventful than the previous National Park tour that was interrupted in Terlingua, Texas by my kidney stone. It was a lot more fun writing about that 85 mile drive to the ER to Big Bend Regional Medical Center (and the kind hands of Dr. Kyle McCombs) than it was to experience it.
An interesting note about the blog is that when I had my stone, the hits on the site almost doubled. Apparently my readers love hearing about me in pain and misery. I will keep that in mind when I write to you this trip.
No kidney stone so far but I did have the usual painful experience through TSA. As usual they did their bang up job making sure no one brought a pen knife aboard the plane. Not sure why they worry about a passenger bringing a knife when 60 minutes into the flight our flight attendant gave us 2 each (see photo).
I need to stop writing now, because it is time to practice my Spanish.
Arrivederci, oops I mean hasta luego.

Business Class is so much nicer that plan B.
Unfortunately, your knife reference and picture has been reviewed and you will be greeted upon arrival by some nasty gentlemen who will adjust your attitude!
Safe travels! 🙂

Hi, Robert and Patrice,
Did we tell you in Asheville that when we went to BA from Quito last year, we were robbed twice in one day, broad daylight, main thoroughfare, Sunday afternoon, passersby laughing and pointing (or ignoring). Have fun, itâs a great city, but be VERY careful with money and valuables. The rest of Argentina was great, except for the omnipresence of signs reading âLas Malvinas sont nuestra.â Some people just never get the message.
Look forward to getting your ramblings.

We are being babied on this tour. We are rarely out of the hands of a driver and tour guide. I spoke to some people about visiting these countries and they put the fear of God into me. So we decided to go the structured route rather than the let’s take it a day at a time attitude like we do with our US road trips.

Roberto and Patrice – have a wonderful, safe journey. Looking forward once again to traveling with you through your mighty pen (think more appropriate to say keyboard because the art of penmanship writing is long gone). Stephen and I will be heading out ourselves to Marrakech and southern Spain in a couple of weeks.
