Turning Over a New Leaf – An Overdue Update on Travel Life
After six enjoyable weeks in Punta del Este, Uruguay waiting for the 4Runner to arrive by ship from South America to the States we flew to Austin, Texas ready to pick her up in Houston. As an aside, if you find yourself in Austin near the airport, JD Market inside the Mobile gas station on […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Adios South America
Once we had Sebastian’s paperwork sorted it was time to leave Gualeguaychú, Argentina and enter Uruguay. We had a semi-firm ship date for the 4Runner which put us on a tighter schedule than we like. Crossing the border it was imperative that we get a physical copy of our Temporary Import Permit which had recently […]
4Runner Roadtrip – More Argentina and the Atacama Desert of Chile
Continuing our push North in Argentina our next destination was a little tourist town called Tilcara. Leaving Salta we had a little bit of a navigation error and ended up driving through town rather than around town. Driving through most towns in South America can be pretty stressful with traffic and motorbikes and pedestrians. On […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Northwest Argentina
After our extended time in Merlo it was time to move on. Our first destination was a little farm in a verdant valley surrounded by the desert called Finca La Media Luna. It was a bit rustic made even more rustic by the fact that the local village that supplied power was not providing power. […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Argentina and Iberá Wetlands
After crossing back into Argentina via the super fun ferry from Paraguay, we headed to Posadas for a two day respite in a really cool cabina. I didn’t want to leave; it didn’t hurt that they had upgraded us from just a room to an actual cabin. From there we spent a night in a […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Argentina & Paraguay: The Misiones Province
After an overnight flight from Madrid to Montevideo we were ready to resume our ‘light’ overlanding in South America. We spent two nights in Montevideo before going to pick up the 4Runner from the guys at UY Storage where she had been stored for the winter season. Aside from being a bit dusty, the 4Runner […]
RV Roadtrip – A Few Months of Slow Travel in France and Spain
After a couple of months in the States we were ready to get back to Peppa and RV life in Europe. We hadn’t really planned anything out but were planning on taking things slow and just enjoying France and Spain. We flew into Paris and stayed near the Latin Quarter which is a part of […]
California is Dreamy; Some Wild Wyoming
We arrived in SFO a little bit before midnight after an uneventful flight from Panama. We had to fly coach with Sebastian and were thus excluded from the adult drinks service on Copa. Also, there was no gluten free meal option available for this particular route. Fortunately for Shani, there is a rotisserie place in […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Argentina Part 4 & Some Uruguay
We had a lovely few days in San Martín de los Andes wandering around, walking by the lake and enjoying drinks out in a pretty idyllic setting just taking in all of the beauty of the region. But time ever marches on and we needed to keep moving as we had a flight planned back […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Chile Part 1, Argentina Part 3
Leaving Ushuaia, we were heading up to the Torres Del Paine region in Chile, something we were really looking forward to. Our route would take us back to Rio Grande and then cross the border for a stay back in Punta Arenas. Just outside of Rio Grande we had to stop at the largest shrine […]
