Hey! In case you haven’t heard or read, I am heading to Antarctica in less than a week. This is a big and exciting trip for two reasons:
One: It’s ANTARCTICA!!!! Who doesn’t want to go there!?!?! Also it will be 7th continent. I can’t wait!
Two: it’s the least planned/ most last minute trip I have ever taken. I mean just look at my blog title! I am 100% a type a person, and normally like to have my trips planned to the T at least two months in advance. So this whole last minute planning has been stressful.
So how am I surviving?
I’m doing okay, much better now that the last minute deals on Antarctic cruises are getting posted. The months of Aug-early Oct were stressful! I would look at travel sites and all I would see were the booked cruises! Then I would imagine I would get all the way to Ushuaia (the end of the world) and I wouldn’t be able to find a single cruise to take me. However in the last couple of days last minute deals have started to pop up, and I am grateful I waited. I am currently looking at a cruise and if I book it I will save over $5,000! And that’s not for a small room I would share with strangers, but for a private cabin!
- My current attempts of planning
I will try my best to keep you all updated on my plans and travels as I explore Antarctica and some of South America. And if any of you have recommendations for what else to see in Argentina let me know!
Update!
