Overnight Stay

It looks like it might be cold in this photo but in
fact it was raining, quite warm, and very humid.
We left Miami at 8:00 pm on Friday and arrived in Buenos
Aires very early on Saturday morning. I particularly dislike these overnight
flights as I never seem to get any sleep on them. Lawrence bought a new bag
in Miami that we were able to stuff his wounded backpack into.
I am writing this as we descend into Buenos Aires after
our long over night flight. As I predicted I got only three hours sleep.
Lawrence took a sleeping pill and slept for a few more hours. World travel seems so
romantic until you have to spend 10 hours on a long distance flight, then
the reality of it becomes clear: sleep deprivation torture.
We got in too early to check into the hotel directly so
we dropped off our bags and were all taken (the Antarctic tour group) on a
bus tour of Buenos Aires. This tour would have been fine under normal
conditions but given how little sleep everyone had on the flight it was
rather trying. I will feel better after a sleep.
On to Antarctica.
