Buenos Aires

Well, we made it out of Miami almost on time even with the huge rainstorms that had swept through all day.  The flight was almost nine hours - that's a killer for my pelvis/back.  We are now in the Pan Americano hotel in downtown Buenos Aires.  Beautiful hotel - and very crowded.  We have a nice large room so I'm going to spend some time resting my back and then we will go walk around the city a bit and get some dinner.

On arrival at the hotel we - there were about a dozen Fram passengers on that flight - did a quick checkin at the hotel reception desk and then went to a meeting room to check in for Fram... That took forever - why don't people read their documents ahead of time???  Anyway after waiting for our turn for over an hour, we checked in in about 10 minutes.  Our Fram bag tags are pieces of red ribbon.... this is NOT a cruise like we are used to doing.  We are all getting excited, but are already tired of traveling and we have a 3 hour flight tomorrow morning at 8:30 to get to Usuaia.  That means breakfast is at 5:00 - we leave the hotel at 6:30. 

My next post should be from the ship.
