While it’s sad that your travel days may be a thing of the past, it’s also true that you have designed many beautiful trips full of wonderful memories. I am so appreciativ3 of your willingness to share these memories with us. There's a bit of a story behind this one. I do fly but really don't like it but this is a trip that never would have occurred to me on my own. After the Serenity segment Buenos Aires to Rio I was looking for a way to get home and first considered a cruise that was available from Santiago but options for getting there from Rio were not good. The Zaandam cruise was longer and from Buenos Aires but I liked it. I lucked out with an easy flight on Emerates (my only time there) but several days still between cruises. I was originally thinking I would need to fly to Iguazu, but I had a Symphony cruise from Buenos Aires to Miami in 2016. A lady joined the Symphony in Valparaiso for the return to Miami, and joined my trivia team. She really does not fly but was touring South America with her husband. and had to get there and back. She found a Queen Mary 2 segment to Rio to get to South America and then Symphony to get back, and she described her bus travels. Conditions vary by country with some having onboard meal service and others making appropriately timed stops at restaurants, and seats resembling business class on an airplane. I would never have done this just on my own but Viator had a tour with exactly wanted so I decided that was what I would do. In Brazil, the meals are served onboard. My bus: The upper level was the deluxe class and the lower level for the equivalent of probably premium economy. This is my seat at night: Roy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
