I'm going to work hard to take a vacation from US news! It should be refreshing. I'm looking forward to seeing the Magellanic clouds and a couple of other astronomical objects while I'm in the Andes!

I'm bringing a jacket and gloves though since we'll be at altitude in the Andes.

Will help with the altitude sickness. Take it slowly for the first couple of days and enjoy the stars at night...
