The plan
The general plan is simple.
Show up Friday, have a drink, tell some lies, have another drink, eat, talk to people, sleep!
A huge asado for Saturday is planned, and lots more to do and travellers to meet. Expect a great time - everyone raved about last years Viedma Meeting, so go and have a great time!
Monday, time to head south for Christmas and New Years at Ushuaia, or east or west or wherever!
You can help!
