11 Days and Counting!

I have become addicted to looking at the webcam on the Valle Nevado website...is it snowing, is it snowing?? After finding out they had 6 feet of fresh snow as of last week the idea of skiing in the Andes finally started to sink in. As I have been planning this vacation over the past month I guess it never really was a reality...even after buying the plane ticket. Now as the days move by and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I have gone from being excited to literally bouncing off the walls. I am so excited, but have some fears as I have never truely traveled out of the country...I don't count Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean. I know I will be fine since I have turned the Rough Guide to Chile into my new bible. I have been teaching myself Spanish as well as local customs and the general lay of the land. I need to go into this adventure armed with as much knowledge as possible, although I'm always up for something new. I am looking forward to meeting the great folks at CTS Turismo and the Valle Nevado office in Santiago. I wouldn't have been able to plan my trip or my client's without the help of Ximena, Marta and Victor....THANK YOU ALL!

As this trip progresses we will do our best to update the blog with some pictures and tales of our adventures is the amazing country. Stay tuned...it's not that far off!!

BTW, here is the latest shot from the Valle Nevado webcam...blue skies and fresh snow, it doesn't get much better :)
