From here we continue our journey, driving through the sweeping Patagonia plains - keep your eyes out for herds of guanacos! Seventy miles south of Trelew is our destination, the Punta Tombo penguin colony. Marked trails wind through the teeming colony where over half a million Magellanic penguins make their homes. After spending a few hours watching these comical - and monogamous - birds, we drive back north to Trelew to visit the historic buildings of this former Welsh colony. We overnight in casual comfort this evening in the nearby beach town of Puerto Madryn. Day 2 Peninsula Valdes (L,D) Start the day by indulging in some freshly baked regional pastries and savoring a cup of coffee. Today we have a full day to explore the famous Peninsula Valdes wildlife reserve, so you'll need the energy! The Peninsula Valdes, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999, provides important natural habitat for a number of species including sea lions, Patagonian foxes, armadillos, guanacos, Magellanic penguins, and numerous others. The biggest attraction, however, is the population of southern right whales that comes here to breed between June and mid-December. After being hunted to near-extinction during the heyday of the whaling industry, the southern right is now one of the most rare whales in the world. We'll have the opportunity to join a whale-watching excursion, and with luck we'll witness the magnificent creatures swimming alongside our vessel. Our lodge this evening is the charming and cozy Estancia Rincon Chico, located within the Peninsula. The eight rooms are simply and tastefully decorated, with down comforters to lull you to sleep! Day 3 Return Home Peninsula Valdes: PV4 US$880/person: 2 travelers or more US$1365/person: 1 traveler Single supplement: US$151 If flying from anywhere other than Buenos Aires, a flight and an extra night hotel at Bahia Nueva will be added to itinerary. El Calafate: CAL3 US$465/person: 2 travelers or more US$607/person: 1 traveler Single supplement: US$177 Day 1 Fly El Calafate (D) Rise early to catch a morning flight to the lively town of El Calafate. Spend some time getting acquainted with this international village of peak baggers, trekkers, mountaineers and intrepid travelers. Once we've browsed the shops along the tree-lined streets, we'll head to the working sheep ranch of Estancia Alice for dinner and overnight. Day 2 Perito Moreno Glacier (L,D) Today we drive into Parque Nacional Los Glaciares for views of the stunning Perito Moreno Glacier. This huge advancing glacier is more than 3 miles wide at its front and over 20 stories high. We take a zodiac across Lago Argentino and pass the massive front wall of blue ice, all the while watching for icebergs. After landing on a small beach we start hiking through the beech forest to the ice pack of the glacier. We'll eat our lunch sitting on the lateral moraine of the glacier, where we can absorb the magnificence of the glacier's anatomy and listen to its thunderous concerto of groaning and cracking ice dropping into the lake below. Tonight, sample some of El Calafate's Patagonian nightlife before return home! Day 3 Return home Ushuaia: USH4 US$638/person: 2 travelers or more US$994/person: 1 traveler Single supplement: US$75 Day 1 Arrive Ushuaia With previous incarnations as a missionary outpost and, subsequently, prison town, Ushuaia is now most well-known as the "Gateway to Antarctica." From its dramatic setting between the Beagle Channel and the rugged glaciated peaks rising from the landscape, opportunities for hiking and exploring abound. The afternoon is free to wander local museums or explore nearby trails. Day 2 Beagle Channel and Gable Island Our Ushuua extension begins early in the morning as we cross the green central valley of Tierra del Fuego to reach Harberton Farm, a private ranch built by the first British missionaries to reach the area. After a short visit we'll board a zodiac and wind through the Beagle Channel to Gable Island, part of the Harberton estate. We'll enjoy a picnic lunch in an old, rustic shelter before embarking on a 3 hour hike around the island. Our path leads to many amazing vantage points of the Beagle Channel, and if the weather cooperates we might glimpse the distant town of Puerto Willams across the Chilean border. Returning to the zodiac, we resume our navigation to the penguin rookery on Martillo Island. The location of the island makes it a birdwatcher's paradise; we'll be on the lookout for petrels, skuas, cormorants, seagulls, and albatross. We depart for Harberton and begin the return trip to Ushuaia. Day 3 Tierra del Fuego National Park Just north of Ushuaia is the Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego, Argentina's first coastal national park. The trail system of easy and undemanding paths makes this an ideal place to spend a relaxing day exploring Patagonia. We'll wander along the coastal path, undoubtedly the most beautiful in the park. The 3 ½ hour hike takes us through forests of both high and low deciduous beech, evergreen beech, winterbark, firebrush, and more. We finish the walk at Lake Roca in time for lunch. After eating our fill, we climb into inflatable canoes and begin the easy downstream paddle to the Ovando River. The crystal-clear water runs into Laguna Verde, one of the most picturesque, panoramic spots in the park. Our take-out point is Lapataia Bay, where we may see petrels, albatross, steamer ducks, and on occasion, penguins. We'll return to Ushuaia for dinner and a restful sleep.

On this page you'll find details on the standard Disneyland packages, as well as current discounted packages. Most of the packages listed below can be booked online at Disneyland.com . However, I find the online reservations system to be confusing and clunky. Also, you really have to dig around online to find out the restrictions and cancellation fees, etc. If you're going to spend the money to buy a vacation package, I strongly recommend using a travel agent who specializes in Disney travel . It costs you nothing, and you can sit back, relax, and have all the vacation planning and hassle taken care of by someone else.

United Airlines Kids Fly Free Promo United Airlines is offering a "Kids Fly Free" promotion for travel between 1/3/06 and 4/27/06. With this promo, one child (age 2-11) flies "free" per one a paid adult airfare , when you buy a Disneyland vacation package. Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, however, this package isn't a great deal in many cases , because it requires you to choose certain fare classes for the adult ticket(s), which are usually MUCH more expensive than the cheapest discounted advance-purchase ticket(s). Often it would be cheaper to book a discounted adult and child fare instead. However, I'm listing this offer because it occasionally works out to be a good deal in certain circumstances. The "Kids Fly Free" promo can be combined with the "Everyone Plays at the Kids Price" or "Kids Play FREE" offer above . Applies to packages purchased from selected cities only and must be booked by 4/7/06. You must arrive at Disneyland by 4/25/06 and travel must be completed by 4/27/06. Blackout dates apply and packages are subject to availability. You can book a "Kids Fly Free" package online at Disneyland.com .

Last Minute Packages to Disneyland through Expedia Some of the last-minute Expedia packages are a good value, especially if you need airfare. Sometimes it costs less to buy one of these packages than it would to buy the airfare alone. Definitely worth a look if you're interested in a low-cost getaway to Disneyland.
