From a security standpoint, I can't tell you which hotel in Ushuaia this is, but it's where we'll be stayingOk adventure travellers, who's in?I'll be waiting at the Barrow Airport for all you guys and gals that are coming in on the 6th. Look forward to meeting everyone then. For you true adventure seekers there will be an afterparty after the southernmost GTG back north, at the true

All in one ongoing thread for quick simple reference. If not let's start one here.
