Final Post…
Good news! The minivan arrived completely intact, even with 6 bottles of wine, 3 bottles of champagne, 5 bottles of Pisco Sour, one bottle of Pisco and one bottle of Fernet. Getting the minivan back is like an early Christmas present; we are delighted to open the bags of souvenirs that we bought in Chile and Argentina, as well as have our “old” stuff back.
Here are some factoids about the trip:
Travelled 7 months and 1 week
Visited 12 countries
Slept in 91 different places
Spent $68,000 (only $3,000 over budget)
