Arrival in Santiago

After a long flight with intermittent sleep, ravioli, and a croissant, we are here! Immigration and customs went smoothly and we met up with our guide from Austral Group, Claudia. The bus ride from the airport took us into the modern city of Santiago. The temperature is a bit of a shock at around 40 degrees fahrenheit; a far cry from the 100+ degree weather we left in Wichita. We are all excited and tired at the same time.

Leaving ICT

We are all here and accounted for - about to board. First leg, Dallas; second leg, Santiago!!!! Security was pretty strict this time. Fortunately they confiscated my fingernail clippers for security purposes. I feel much safer. Now that I've re-packed, I'm ready to go!
