Tomorrow it is an early start and off to Argentina, finally after 12 years of pining to experience Tierra Del Fuego actually going to do it. Will try to blog if I can find time to write and web access using Andrew’s fab new mini laptop the EEEPC which absolutely rocks and only cost £220 from Toys-R-Us.
Okay blog is at http://realtravel.com/argentina-trips-i6665513.html and as well as diary with travel tips is full of data about hotel and meal costs. What a wonderful trip it is turning out to be from peaks to penguin poo at the end of the earth. Loving it and totally worth the 12 year wait to get here.It’s 8th March and we’re just back from Torres Del Paine national park where yesterday we had lunch at a view point listening to the rumble of avalanches in the valley over the other side of the lake. Today we were beset first by guanacos and then chased by dogs. Feels like we’ve been travelling months we’ve seen so much and covered such distances but it has only been a week. Did I mention how much I love it? Oh yes I did.

My best ever spa experience takes you back in time. The Arab baths in Madrid are something really special. Take a look at the website. They are worth going all the way to Madrid for. Step into another world of steam and twinkly lights amid Moorish decor. Pure hedonism. Step out invigorated and refreshed. Your session includes a massage too. Must stop writing before I succumb and buy a ticket to Madrid.

I’m always being asked for details of where I went as my friends know I often do lots of research and uncover some gems. If they are not asking, I am often found enthusing about my experiences because I want others to go share in the love. I live for my holidays and thought it’d be a good idea to save my tips and links in one place so I am not searching for scraps of paper I wrote on once upon a time. I use Trip Advisor a lot as well as Google and following my nose, but you never know if the people who wrote the review have the same standards or outlook on travel as you. I like to think of myself as a sport shy adventurous snob that loves to find an outstanding hotel for a reasonable price. Well I don’t like to think of myself as a snob but some might call me that as I have no interest in spending any of my Luxor holiday in an English themed pub. A great holiday for me does not have anyone wearing a football shirt in my line of sight.
