-Ushuaia to Alaska- or so I thought.Beginning in August 2005 I fly to Buenos Aires, head South to Ushuaia then make my way overland, through South America, become a dive instructor and have some fun.

About this blog

-South America and beyond-

A journey which will span 3 years, taking me from Buenos Aires in Argentina all the way to Ushuaia - (the Worlds Southernmost City). I then slowly make my way North, through South America to Colombia. Where I take a yacht across the Caribbean to Panama and travel North through Central America, becoming a Dive Instructor on the way and eventually hit the USA.

Its a long way and a mighty challenge. I'm still going strong. I have been traveling for almost 3 years now and everything has fallen into place in ways that I could never dream or plan. Thanks to everyone who helped.

Wish me luck. I hope you enjoy my entries. please vist my site for more info: www.murrayw.net
