Bunny Rabbits on a Runway

3 planes, 2 cars, 1 bus, and 26 hours after leaving my apartment in Lower Manhattan, I finally arrived in Ushuaia, Argentina. Here's what I remember from the trip:

• The sad look on my dog's face when I kissed her goodbye in the rain
• Realizing I forgot my watch
• Dreading my middle seat assignment, then being pleasantly surprised that my seatmates were actually very cool people that I really enjoyed meeting (shout out to Row 41 if you reading this!)
• The brief taste of Buenos Aires summer weather as I transferred airports
• The computer breakdown at the regional airport check-in that resulted in something akin to cattle herding
• Finding my 2041 teammates amongst the herd
• Watching an Argentinean guy throw a temper tantrum at the gate
• Bunny rabbits on the runway at the re-fueling stopover
• The now-familiar feeling of arriving in Ushuaia...and remembering the first time when it was all so new
• The exhaustion and anticipation all rolled into one once I checked into my room 

Safe and sound...
