I prepare for a trip to Chile/Chili

Chile, Chili. Either way, it is a long way from Montreal, and to get there I must do this: Montreal-Miami-Santiago-Arica in an aeroplane (24 hours), then Arica-Putre in a car, going up and up and up, for 3 hours. Yes, this is what it is like working in advertising: you fly to places you would not normally go to film things, and it is good.

But what is this? I am sent a link to the hotel we will stay in in Arica! I do not know where to look with my eyes, so wonderful does it seem.

I shall take photographs of the hotel in the flesh, as it were, and attempt to post them before I leave for Putre aware, as I am, of the fact that altitude sickness may make my head explode.*




* Fear not, gentle readers. I have Diamox AND cortisone, so I shall not be swollen, but I may be weeing non-stop. I will also be able to lick llamas with inpunity, having been vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B, diptheria, polio (again) and TB and having, in my sac, an Epipen, Benadryl and cortisone (in case my mouth swells up randomly, as it sometimes does).

Is that Pierce Brosnan with the cocktail shaker? It's either him or Action Man.

Ooooh yes, and you must lodge a complaint if Action Man isn't actually eying you suggestively (smolderingly?) whilst manfully agitating that there cocktail shaker [insert lewd but terribly clever joke using cock, tail and shaker].

Is that thing with the cross on a cake? I do hope you have a successful visit.

Also take an oxygen cylinder with you. And wrap up warm. Hell, just wear a spacesuit, it's halfway to the moon.
