To get to the southernmost city in the world, we are taking two flights. I chose the route that was the most direct as well as the fastest. I wanted to have the fewest chances for things to go wrong, flights to be delayed or canceled, luggage to get lost, etc. We’ll be flying from Houston to Buenos Aires (10 1/2 hour flight), then from BA to Ushuaia (3 1/2 hour flight).

We’re flying in two days before we are supposed to be there. I’m hoping that gives us plenty of time for dealing with airline delays that may crop up or for lost luggage to catch up with us.

Best case, we’ll get a couple of days for sightseeing in Ushuaia before we head south.

Two months until we leave!
