And on to Melbourne

January 1, 2014August 4, 2016 Let it go

After only two days in Sydney I’ll head on South, to Melbourne. Melbourne had been one of the corner stones in the planning of this trip. It’s one of the places I have been most impatient to see and live in. In the next couple if days I’ll stay in St. Kilda with my friends, […] Read More

December 26, 2013August 4, 2016 Let it go

When I booked the connection from Santiago to San Francisco via Toronto and Los Angeles, I already had a hunch. This would be tight. You have to factor in delays, the time at immigration and customs, the transfers etc, etc. I had mailed all my itineraries and booking codes to my friend Renato, with whom […] Read More

Off to Buenos Aires

October 27, 2013August 4, 2016 Let it go

And I’m off to Buenos Aires. It’s bit confusing because my reservation says 8.25 but the plane always left an hour earlier… maybe it’s due to the summer time change and the plane arriving earlier now from Istanbul…? I better get to the airport early! Here are the flight statistics: Flight 5 to Buenos Aires […] Read More
