The GCW Tour, Buenos Aires & Antarctica: I Probably Should've Planned This Better

Today's the last day of this current leg of the GCW Tour. I have to be at the airport at 6:00 pm for a 9:00 pm flight, then it's about twenty hours of planes, trains and automobiles and I'm home. 

Of course, my hotel wants me out by noon so I've got to figure out what to do with my day. I'm figuring the hotel will hold my bags, so I can leave those here and spend one more day of wandering Buenos Aires. At one point I passed the sign for the Eva Peron museum and since pretty much the only thing I know about her is the phrase "don't cry for me Argentina," I figured I might start at the museum and see if I can learn something. 

After that, I'll track down some Patagonian beer for my cat sitter, since "exotic beer" is all they wanted, and then maybe check out some more of the city's parks. May as well enjoy this little blast of summer while I can. It's unlikely to be sunny and 77 when I get back to Seattle.

Speaking of getting back to Seattle, check out the timeline for the forty-eight hours starting with the flight home (and adjusted so times are presented in Seattle time):

Tues, 4:15 pm (10.5 hours) -- Flight from Buenos Aires to Atlanta
Wed, 2:30 am (3 hours) -- Layover in Atlanta
Wed, 5:30 am (5.5 hours) -- Fight from Atlanta to Seattle
Wed, 11:00 am (2 hours) -- Claim bags & get home 

Wed, 1:00 pm (21 hours) -- See if Kevin remembers me and adjust back to Seattle
Thur, 10:00 am (1 hour) -- SCCA Lab draw
Thurs, 11:00 am (1 hour) -- SCCA oncology appointment with PA
Thurs, 12:00 pm (6 hours) -- SCCA chemotherarpy infusion
Thurs, 6:00 pm (72 hours) -- Recover and sleep

In other words, at this point we pretty much return you to your regularly scheduled cancer blog. Depending how photogenic the Eva Peron Museum is, I may have a few final pictures of Buenos Aires to post, but then we'll be back to cancer. 


Figure a day or so until I post again, as I'll soon be busy traveling, sleeping, or getting treatment. 

Personally, I'm missing the penguins already.


But the good news is: only twenty-four days until the sib trip to Costa Rica which, admittedly, got stuck in there a little close to Antarctica. Sorry co-workers!
