Preparing for Patagonia

We (Jon, Lisa, and I) are getting ready to leave for a trip to the Patagonia. After many failed attempts to acquire bus or plane tickets we were finally able to purchase our plane tickets this afternoon for a flight tomorrow morning out of Santiago. We will fly down to Punta Arenas, but on the way back we will take the 48 hour bus ride. The 48 hours is the reason for flying one way.

We will be doing the W trek at the Parque Nacional Torres del Paine. We will spend about 4 days hiking and camping through the glacier formed mountains of the Chilean Patagonia, hopefully enjoying some spectacular views of one of South Americas most amazing natural wonder The Torres del Paine.

I probably won´t be able to post any pictures, stories, or check my email. But hopefully when I return to Concepcion I will have some unbelievable pictures and stories to share with you. Keep us in your prayers as we will be doing a lot of traveling over the next two days.
