The Roys/Hebron family of four traveled to Antarctica on a 10-day cruise from Ushuaia, Argentina starting January 30, 2010 on Corinthian II operated by the luxury cruise line Travel Dynamics International. During the trip we bought a nice little log book which I wrote daily entries in. The following is pretty straight from the handwritten with some fragments turned into sentences and a few lectures placed by looking at the daily schedule (which several times changed due to weather or other events.) Each entry gives credit for its photographs and graphics.

Ushuaia Hostels
Backpackers have acknowledged for time the pleasure of staying at hostels for a cool and low-cost approach to stretch their trip dollars.
Even though lots of hostels now offer private rooms with en-suite facilities, the environment is still very unlike from that of your regular hotel.
Tourists require a kitchen total with utensils, washing up amenities and bounty of luggage compartment space.
