Last day at the End of the world 

Greetings!  Our motorcycles have arrived!  Well, at least the ship that they're on is here.  We're still anxiously awaiting a phone call from Osvaldo, our shipping agent, to tell us to come on down and pick them up.

The weather today is absolutely fantastic.  Clear blue skies, the sun is shining and Sean is singing.  We've decided that we're going to put the minimum amount of work into the bikes to get them on the road as soon as possible so that we can get over this wicked mountain pass before the weather turns again and the road is covered in even more ice.

For now, thought, it's been pretty much a case of 'hurry up and wait' – the bikes are here, but we don't have them yet, so we still really can't do anything.  Dad's packing, but I don't know why – the only luggage we're taking is with the motorcycles.  So he's just going to have to undo it.  But I guess he's got a bug in his butt again.

So not much to report, yet.  I'll fire off another one of these later this afternoon when we leave, and – if possible, another one when we get to wherever it is we're stopping tonight.

Adios,
