Anyone been to Tierra del Fuego?

My wife just booked us a vacation there, in December.

I wanted to go to Hawaii.

Hi John,

I wanted to go to Hawaii.

I think it is something about being married.



Have fun; you'll enjoy it,

Best to start brushing up on your American accent...

- There have been recent protests against British interests in Argentina in the context of the higher profile being given to the Falkland Islands issue during 2012 - the 30th anniversary of the Falklands conflict. You should avoid all protests and demonstrations in all parts of Argentina.

- The Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers (CATT) has approved a boycott of vessels flying a British flag. Some Argentine provinces have passed legislation banning the entry to port of vessels supporting hydrocarbons activity in the Falkland Islands.

- At this stage we are not advising against travel to Argentine ports, but advise that vessels make contact with their agent or local authorities before travelling. The majority of cruise ships and visiting tourists should not be affected by Argentine port restrictions.

- Most visits to Argentina are trouble-free. 22 British nationals required consular assistance in Argentina in the period 01 April 2011 - 31 March 2012. You should keep a close eye on your personal belongings and hold on to them in public places such as internet cafes, train and bus stations where distraction thefts commonly occur.

- There are occasional outbreaks of social unrest and demonstrations sometimes involving large numbers of people. Monitor local media and avoid all demonstrations.

- The Yellow Fever vaccination is recommended for those aged nine months and above travelling to the regions of Argentina bordering Paraguay and Brazil in the provinces of Chaco, Corrientes, Formosa, Salta and all areas of Misiones province, including Iguazu Falls.

- There is an underlying threat from terrorism. Attacks, although unlikely, could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers. On 1 May 2012 a small explosive device was detonated outside the office of the EU Delegation in Buenos Aires. There were no casualties.

- You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling.

The 'Merkun "Deep South" comes to mind.

Book ahead if you want to go from Ushuaia on the train at the end of the world http://www.trendelfindelmundo.com.ar/recorrido.php as it can get fully booked.

Eat kingcrabs.

A lot of stuff has to be imported so don't expect it to be cheap.

Ushuaia tends to be full of two sorts of tourists. One lot are hanging around waiting to get on their Antarctic trip. The other lot are returning and are busy meeting and greeting those they travelled with.

Haven't done Torres del Paine - yet.
