Rachel and I will be traveling to Chile and Argentina.  We will be there for 3 months, leaving on January 1st, 2010 and returning on April 5th, 2010.

We will be spend the first 2 months in the cities of Valparaiso and Vina del Mar on the coast of Chile.  We will be studying Spanish and interning with local companies.  Rachel will teach English and I will do something with computers.  We will find out more details as our leave date approaches.  For the last month we plan on traveling through Chile and into Argentina, visiting such places as Torres del Paine, Iguazu Falls, the Valdes Peninsula, Bariloche and so forth.

We hope to keep everyone updated with our ventures using this blog with the latest entries being shown below.
