We started this trip at 5pm in Atlanta, GA on December 20th and changed planes in Houston TX. After a 10 hour flight, we landed in Buenos Aires, Argentina (EZE airport) on December 21st around 10am local time, which is two hours ahead of Eastern Time zone. Cleared customs, collected our luggage and purchased bus tickets to take us to AEP airport for an afternoon flight on Aerolineas Argentina to Ushuaia. The bus ride was 1 hour and made one stop downtown Buenos Aires. Temperature outside was 80F with moderate humidity. Luckily this was a coach bus with air conditioning and we were comfortable. We spent one night in Ushiaua before boarding the ship where we spent the next two days at sea. All in all, it took 5 days of travel to arrive in the Antarctic Peninsula.

We dropped off our luggage at 11:30am and had until 3:30pm before we checked in for the ship. So, we had most of the day to explore Ushiaua. We are traveling with another couple, friends of ours, who have done this excursion previously.
