Argentina to Chile!

All 42 of us SIEers, woke up bright and early this morning to check out of Hotel Melia Reconquista to begin our journey to Chile.  There were many mixed emotions about leaving this morning because we have all grown to love Buenos Aires, and Argentina as a whole.  After having some breakfast everyone loaded their luggage onto the bus and we headed to the international airport.  Once we checked in and got our tickets we headed to security where we had to say goodbye to our amazing tour guides Rosana and German.  They were both extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about Argentina which really added to our experience.  We then headed to our gate where we were able to pick up some snacks and last minute souvenirs to bring home with us.  After a quick hour and a half flight over the beautiful Andes Mountains later we arrived in Chile and were greeted by our new tour guides Catalina and Francisca.  We had a bit of a delay getting on the buses, due to a minor customs issue, but we finally made it aboard, which was definitely worth the wait.  Everyone was amazed by the leather seats, drink machine, and even the bathroom on board.  On the way Hotel Atton el Bosque, our new tour guides gave a quick introduction about Santiago and what we were to expect for the upcoming days.  Once we made it to the hotel, we were given our room keys and made our way to our new beautiful rooms to settle in and prepare for our upcoming bus tour of the city of Santiago.  While we were all sad to leave Argentina, it is needless to say that everyone is excited to start exploring Chile and have new adventures!
