Woke up to a nice view of sunrise over the Andes without too much smog as there was a big storm yesterday that washed not only the ground but the atmosphere. I noticed in my AA app that they were offering a small travel credit to volunteer to wait for the next flight as the … Continue reading Back in Santiago
We had a very interesting trip to the park gate. When we were doing final checkout, there was a woman at the other counter frantically speaking to someone on the phone about cards and payment issues and how she was stuck down here in Brazil and they'd left her floundering.
