Introduction

This blog will track the preparation and progress of a journey from the Antarctic circle near the bottom tip of Argentina to the top of North America via the amazing island of Cuba and many other interesting places along the way such as Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Paraguay, Panama and the US. Some of the highlights for me will be spending time at Iguazu Falls, experiencing a Boca Juniors football match in Buenos Aires, kayaking with the whales in the Antarctic and attending a screenwriter's conference in Los Angeles!

Antarctic Cruise is booked!

Today I paid for my 12-day Antarctic cruise in full, so I am definitely going - yippee! On 25 February, the ship leaves Ushuaia at the bottom tip of Argentina, cruises down the Beagle Channel and crosses the Drake Passage to the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands, where weather permitting we will have two shore landings per day. It will be possible to see seals and penguins as well as orca, humpback and minke whales. We will then attempt to cross into the Polar Circle, passing giant icebergs and countless colonies of penguins before crossing back through the Drake Passage to Ushuaia. My next task is to book some flights!
