the next adventure?

Tyson's goal was to make it to all 7 continents before age 30. He obviously lives in North America, has been to Europe twice, Africa for an architecture project, Australia and Asia with me. He turns 30 in September. This is turning into one of those fourth grade Algebra word problems. If you are following along that leaves South America and Antarctica. The dream to set foot on Antarctica was smashed once I started doing serious research and the very least expensive cruise & tour I could find was $5k per person ranging to $15,000. Yeah bleeping right.

So Antartica is out of the question anytime in the near future. That leaves us... you got it! South America! We hope to go this fall between 3 Sept-10 Dec (low season). It'll be a joint 1 year anniversary/birthday/possible Thanksgiving celebration.

I've been stalking the Central & South America Travel Zoo deal section every day -- http://www.travelzoo.com/vacations/south-america/ and have found some great ones so far. It's still too early to book and get great deals for our dates, but I'm getting a feel for the market and options we'll have once we get closer.

I'm not incredibly picky, but ideally we'll get to Argentina, Brazil and/or Peru. Chile and Easter Island seem to be a little more expensive so far with airfare. Let the research continue!
