ARGENTINA, CHILE, ANTARCTICA: Brian and Donna Fernandez, from San Jose, took a three-week cruise from Buenos Aires to Santiago, with 5 days cruising within the Antarctic. Additionally they took a hike in Punta Arenas, Chile, within the patagonia space.
TRAVEL TIPS: Brian Fernandez recommends moving into late December or early January to get the “best of summer weather, which is still very cold,” he stated. “Wear multiple layers – I ended with seven layers. It is hard to pack clothing as South America is very hot. We started in Buenos Aires at 80-plus degrees and then went places with temperatures as low as 0 degrees!”
INDIA: San Jose residents Pete and Debbie Anderson just lately spent a month in India. They celebrated a marriage, visited temples and explored villages in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Varanasi, Chennai, Puducherry, Kumbakonam, Mahabalipuram and Bangalore. One spotlight was an elephant journey in Amber Palace, a distinguished fort and notable vacationer attraction in Jaipur, and a UNESCO World Heritage web site.
TRAVEL TIPS: Debbie Anderson recommends utilizing a financial institution ATM to get one of the best alternate price on rupees. “Get them in small denominations for spending, since many vendors will not be able to change large bills,” she says. “Wear comfortable walking shoes, carry bottled water and toilet paper. We suggest arriving early for popular sightseeing destinations to avoid large crowds.”
