Seasalter

After commuting back and forth for two days with high-speed trains, it is finally Friday night. Thanks to this summer’s Mediterraneo magazine and an outstanding Sauvignon Blanc from the Western Cape, I have already forgotten how soaked I got when walking to the station in Halmstad, and instead I am back dreaming of places in the sun.

With exactly 40 days left until departure, and SAS leaving Star Alliance in a week from tomorrow, Anna’s and my autumn award trip to Argentina is hanging by a thin thread in case there are any last-minute schedule changes. But, if all goes according to plan, we will first fly to Istanbul, then across the Atlantic to Bogotá before continuing all the way down to Buenos Aires. With Montevideo being located a short ferry ride across the Rio de la Plata (Taube anyone?), we are of course planning to include the Uruguayan capital as well before returning to Europe on one of Lufthansa’s few remaining 747-8s. All in all, an epic adventure which I really hope I will be able take you all along for here on Rawls & Me.
