Unhappy

We will miss you by one year! We plan to be there for 2009 Christmas and 2010 New Year.
We'll post a similar thread next year. . . . .

We are now in Arkansas, USA, and will spend Christmas in Central America.

Pencil us in as well

Hi Robert,
We should make it as well, some time around the 29th I guess.
We are in Quito, Ecuador and head into the Central Highlands tomorrow.

See you on the road

room for one more?

Hi, I was actually planning to spend Christmas on a sunny beach in a warmer part of Argentina. But since it takes DHL forever to ship a camshaft from Germany to Chile, I am delayed by a month and it looks like I might be stuck with you in Ushuaia at Christmas ;-) That is if you are having me (1 man, 1 bike)...

Christmas in Ushuaia

Hi,
we spend the last weekend in Viedma at the HU meeting and more or less everbody is heading to Ushuaia for Christmas. We were about 15-20 people and I am wondering, if we should give the Camping Rio Pipo a notice?

And by the way, the meetup is still at the Campground Rio Pipo, right .... or is there another place?


Thanks for any reply!

Ushuaia it is

We´re coming down from Chile, so missed the Viedma meetup, but it looks like lady burger and I will hit Ushuaia in perfect time for Xmas.

I have no idea where the meetup is planned for, but Campground Rio Pipo sounds fine to us. I guess if 15 - 20 or so bikers are going to turn up on their doorstep just before Xmas some warning might be appreciated.

see ya soon

We won't make it

It was our original goal to be in Ushuaia for Christmas and so I started this thread to see how many more might join us.

It's 10 days before Christmas. Tonight we are in Antogfagasta, Chile. We could push it and get be in Ushuaia in time for Christmas and then push it some more and be in Buenos Aires for "S" flight home on Dec 29. (Unfortunately she must return to the real world and get back to work.)

But we'd miss too much.

During this adventure we have met many travelers who are planning reach Ushuaia for Christmas, some are not idetified (for example Chuck, Stuart, Matt, Martin, Don...). From what I've seen, you should expect a larger number than has been mentionned here.

So here is to wishing you all a wonderful and memorable Merry Christmas gathering.

After the Dakar, I plan to get to Ushuaia before heading north.

Feliz Navidad
