In another message, Dan said:

"My trip from USA this time will be by ship from Fort Lauderdale, November 19, and arriving in Montevideo December 15."

Is that a freighter or a cruise ship? If it's a freighter how do you make the arrangements?

Ever tried the onboard internet on some of the cruise ships? It seems a little pricey, but if it is a good connection....

It's by cruise ship, actually. I did check into freigters but found none doing what I wanted to do and within a reasonable length of time. Actually my first leg is a repositioning to Valparaiso; then remaining on board to Montevideo. No, I've never used Internet on a ship. It is expensive. I am going to experiement with my wifi this time, but probably no luck. I can hit cyber cafes in the few ports where we stop, though. Dan

How was your cruise, Dan? I love cruising. Prince Charming and I have been on three and that's just not enough. What cruise line did you sail? How long was your trip?

My granddad took a freighter cruise around the world some years back. He enjoyed himself. I don't recall if he got down to South America at all, though.

I just had lunch with Dan today and he's back to the USA in a few day... I think it was a 3 or 4 week trip by boat.
