Post Antarctic Blues

What do you do when you've crossed one of your big to-do's off the "before I die" list?

In my case I moped around Ushuaia for 3 days trying to imagine how to continue around the rest of South America when all I wanted to do was get back on a southbound ship. I never imagined I would run into this mental block after only 2 months on the road. It didn't help matters when most of my fellow passengers seemed to be dusting themselves off and hitting the road for the next adventure without a backward glance at the South Pole.

But as usual, my buddies came through for me J. After a good solid Facebook session where I talked to a few different people who are also meandering around Argentina/Chile – I've made tentative plans to bump into 'em and that's cheered me right up – and got me out of Ushuaia and back on the road – Chilean Patagonia: Here I come!
