Sarah & I head out for South America tomorrow morning for 3 weeks vacation (the longest vacation I’ve ever had since summer break went away). My blog will most likely be pretty quiet during this time, as I expect internet access to be sporadic at best until we get to Buenos Aires.
For those wondering, our rough itinerary is:
Mar 17-20: El Calafate, Argentina (Patagonia, glaciers, birds)
Mar 21-24: Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, Chile (Patagonia, trekking, birds)
Mar 25-27: TBD, end up in Punta Arenas, Chile (hopefully Magellanic Penguins, although we’re a little late in the season)
Mar 28-April 5: Buenos Aires, Argentina (urban fun, birds, relaxation, food, etc etc etc)
After much consideration, my photo kit for this trip is:
– Canon 30D w/~24Gb of CF cards
– Canon 17-85mm EF-S IS lens
– Canon 70-300 DO IS lens
– Panasonic FX01 point & shoot w/512Mb SD card
– Epson P-3000 40Gb portable photo storage device
– way too many chargers for the above, plus universal converter
This all fits nicely into my favored travel bag, the Adorama Slinger, which also has room for small bottles of water, wallet/passport, and a few other personal items.
Until I next have access, take care, be well, and enjoy life!
Peace,

Take care Adam, I am sure you will have a great time, can’t wait to see the great images you will bring back. 🙂
Looking forward to your reports!
That is a lot of stuff to blog about! Can’t wait to see them!
Adam,
Looks like a great trip you have planned! I haven’t seen a Magellanic penguin since I stopped working at Sea World of Ohio about 10 years ago. They are amazing birds, I hope you get to see them in the wild. Always interesting about reading about camera gear as well, best of luck!

Have an amazing trip and I can’t wait to see the pictures you capture with all this equipment! See you soon!
Hope you have a great time!
Too bad you won’t make it to Peru 🙁
RIGHT ON! You have a blast. (I’m so thrilled for you I forgot to be envious) I hope you and Sarah enjoy yourselves!
Thanks, folks! So far we´re having a fantastic time! More very soon….
