Home!

Sunday

 Our luggage to check had to be by our cabin doors by 10:30 p.m. last night
We had to vacate our rooms by 8:00 a.m., but our group wasn't debarking until 9:30 a.m. 

We ate breakfast together then went to the observation deck to hang out.
While waiting, we swapped for an earlier flight from Santiago to SLC (via Atlanta) and now instead of spending another night in Santiago, we're spending the night on the plane and will arrive at 1:00 p.m. instead of 1:00 a.m. 

Our travel schedule:
11:00 a.m. -- 45 minute flight from Puerto Williams to Puerto Arenas. Arrive 11:45 a.m.
2:45 p.m. -- Three-hour flight from Punta Arenas to Santiago. Arrive 5:45 p.m.
Official end of time with Silverseas.

Get luggage, eat dinner, wait for Delta terminal to open so we can check in. 
A forty-five minute wait to get through customs.

11:00 p.m. -- Ten hour flight to Atlanta. Arrive 7:00 a.m.

Monday

Eat breakfast in Delta lounge. 
10:00 -- Five hour flight Atlanta to SLC. Arrive 1:00 p.m.
Get luggage, Uber and arrive home at 3:00 p.m.

That's four days of travel--two by ship and two by plane--to get home from Antarctica. Whew!

Courtney and Michael are in Utah--they arrived yesterday--and we're looking forward to a week with them
as well as spending time with Lizzie and Emi. Marty went back to Denver a few days ago, but Lizzie stayed so she could come to Courtney's baby shower. 

Courtney offered to get takeout for dinner, but Dan and I are dying for a home-cooked meal!
She picked up groceries and we made fajitas.

Soooo happy to be home!
