Back home....I mean Mendoza!

So after spending a few days in Santiago, a night out of mucho drinking, we wake up and make a last minute decision to come back to Mendoza for New Years. We knew we would have a good time here, and love the hostel we stay at. So here we are, back in Mendoza for the third time! And glad to be poolside once again! Santiago just wasn´t for us, but we will have to head back there once again to pick up Tracer and drop off Mik. Mik is tappin out. Time for a new travel partner and a whole new adventure. Can´t wait to see Tracer again! But am very sad to see Mik go! Will be strange without both Aggie and Mik.

There is a big party at the hostel on New Years Eve, dinner, drinks, dj! All the fixins for a good night. Should be heaps of fun. Chill for a few days by the pool, then back to Santiago on the 4th of January. Anyways, not much to tell. Just chillin out in Mendoza, meeting people, having fun. You know the drill. Hope you all had a fantastic xmas and I´ll be drinking a toast to you all New Years Eve. Cheers!
XOXO
