Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’m off on another escape, this time heading to the Atacama Desert in Chile. As I write this, I’m at the airport in Dallas, waiting for a connecting flight to Miami and an overnighter to Santiago. After that, it is another flight to Calama, and then an hour drive to my eventual destination of San Pedro de Atacama tomorrow morning.
I’m told that there is Internet access at my hotel, so I hope to post some updates while I’m on the go, as I would hate to miss all the action that is about to unfold on Everest and other Himalayan peaks. If the connection is good (read, not like most Internet connections in remote areas, I hope to post some photos and updates on what I’m doing over the course of the next few days. I’m hoping to do some mountain biking, hiking, and volcano climbing, but we’ll see.
This is a quick trip, I’m back home on Monday, when you know I’ll be back to regular posts. Hope everyone has their own adventures planned for the days ahead! Back soon!
