In the Spring of 2012 we traveled to South America. It was the voyage of a lifetime. I was a Spanish major and for me it meant seeing all the places that I had studied about.
We started in Buenos Aires and spent a few days there. We traveled to Iguazu Falls and spent time on both the Argentina and the Brazilian sides.
We then boarded the MS Veendam and began our voyage from Buenos Aires around Cape Horn and up the Pacific Coast of South America and through the Panama Canal and finally disembarked in Fort Lauderdale. During our journey we spent three nights off the ship on an overland journey to Machu Picchu. It was a wonderful adventure put together by Abercrombie and Kent.
When we disembarked in Fort Lauderdale I vowed I would go back. I just did not get enough of South America. Well my dream is coming true.
On January 3, 2015 Jim and I will embark on the MS Prinsendam on the Grand South America Voyage. Unfortunately we cannot do the full cruise. We will disembark in Buenos Aires spending a few days there and then flying to Santiago de Chile before flying to Miami.
This is the first time Jim and I will be on a Grand Voyage and we are really excited about that.
This voyage will take us to some of the same places as the last time and some new places as well. We will be going to Antarctica, Isla Robinson Crusoe, Isla de Providencia and Puerto Limon.
Additionally, the Veendam was not able to stop in Stanley in the Falkland Islands on the last voyage so we are praying that conditions will be favorable to allow us to stop this time. We also did not spend much time in Lima and skipped Salaverry due to our Machu Picchu trip so we will be able to explore those places on this voyage.
So here we go.
