Adelaide to Santiago
Packing for a ninety-day voyage that will take you from Adelaide's dry summer heat on a trip that ranges from cold climate at Cape Horn (56° South) to the balmy Florida days (29° North) via the Andean mountains (4,320 metres about sea level) and the Amazon basin (75% chance of rain per day) can be tricky.
This can be a bit complicated because on a trip involving many international and domestic flights means that care must be taken not to exceed the lower limit of all the flights when packing at home. If not, then you can expect to pay hefty fee for excess baggage somewhere on your trip.
Once the bags have been packed and the house-sitter arranged, it is time to start this mammoth journey. Fortunately, Mark and Alexa got a lift from friends to the Adelaide Airport for the first leg of their journey to South America.
