27th posting on Feb. 2, 2014 ..... Back to the welcome page and listings for other links

So it's time to go home and we're "almost" ready. Got our last towel pet from Madde our favorite cabin guy---a monkey!! We docked in Buenos Aires early this am in a huge rainstorm---believe it or not our first rain when docked. The dock here is like lots of others --- ugly with lots of containers & cranes & even uglier in the rain. It's major humid too. So we decided to spend the am packing and shop later. We have our last adventure tonite at a club where they have a dinner tango show. Excited to see it since tango is a huge deal here aand we're having Argentine steaks and great Argentine wine (haven't had a bad glass yet).

Buenos Aires is a huge city--lots of trees and parks and traffic--thank heaven we were in a bus. Cars and honking horns everywhere. Think our bus driver is a neurosurgeon during day the way he cut through traffic. Yikes.

The tango show was fabulous with great music and the dancers were superb. Click here to see my very short Youtube of the show. The room was very 40's style and the band was above the stage which was cool to see and hear during the performance. Dinner (as we thought it would be) was fabulous and the wine yummy. There were individual dancers and group tangos. Loved it all. Wonderful way to end our trip. How the women can dance with those high heels on is a wonder. Made our feet hurt just watching.

Bags out the door tonite at 11 pm---disembark the ship tomorrow at 7:30 am to get the airport shuttle. Airport here is very small considering the size of the city.
Now in Miami waiting for flight home. Everything working right on time. We are tired but so happy and blessed to have had this experience. Thanks a million times to our dear Nancy for all her work and for all of you who chose to tag along with us and email us your comments.

Sooooo----Goodbye to icebergs, penguins, towel pets, wonderful ship staff and sloooow internet connections. Hello to: Arizona, Booky & Buddy, Nancy our blog producer extraordinaire, golf, tennis, and best of all HOME in the good old USA.
