Going to South America

« on: April 16, 2010, 02:00:41 PM »

I'm signing up for a Dialysis at Sea cruise from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Santiago Chile for next January. Decided to visit places I have not been while I am still outrageously healthy. Only dread, flight time to Argentina from up north in Minnesota.
