El Fin de Mundo came complete with a multitude of hiking options. Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire) abuts Ushuaia, and the mountains were astonishing and quite literally left my mouth agape when I first laid eyes on them. … More The Time I Accidentally Larcened THREE Dogs in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
I received looks of bewilderment when I told people we were flying to Ushuaia. Generally, the verbal response I got was, “where is that?!

Being the fools that we are, we opted to drive up into New England with Guinness… our 12 year old Pit Bull. In the dead of one of the coldest winters in quite some time. Days after a blizzard rocked the Northeast. I swear we are usually smart people. … More Guinness Goes to Boston, Massachusetts
