Almost ready to go...

This blog is for all my friends and family. It will cover our trip to South America on motorcycles travelling from the very south to Cuzco in Peru. This is an organised motorcycle tour encompassing Argentina, Chile and finally Peru. Coming on the trip with me will be my sons David and Jeff. We'll be flying from Sydney to Buenos Aires on Monday the 8th of March.

Chile must know we're coming after the huge earthquake, however Compass Expeditions assures us that all is good and we will still be travelling to Santiago which was very close to the epicentre.

I'm feeling excited, but very nervous about the safety of us all, not wanting to ruin the trip with a spill.

We'll try to update as often as possible, but may get a bit slack - we'll do our best.
