Thursday, October 30 - Alarm went off at 4:00am; Tim was at our house by 5:00. We took our 2 suitcases and 2 backpacks and rode in to the Winnipeg Airport. Flew via Minneapolis, Miami, Santiago. Our adventure in Chile began with a surprise: Our camera mysteriously 'disappeared' somewhere in transit, probably during our 8-hour layover in the Miami airport. So when we unpacked our bags in Santiago we realized we would need to replace it. We called Stan's (Irmy's boyfriend) parents and arranged to meet them for lunch on Monday, November 3. After lunch Stan's dad helped us to purchase another camera.
