The plan
The general plan is simple.
Show up Friday, have a drink, tell some lies, have another drink, eat, talk to people, sleep!
On Saturday, lunch on a boat cruise on the Rio Negro. The cost of ticket for the boat is 40 pesos for the boat, and the price of lunch on board is currently unknown, but will be more or less 30 to 70 pesos.
On Sunday we will go to the countryside for Patagonian lamb on the farm of a friend, the price is 95 pesos each, with salad, wine and ice cream too.
Monday, time to head south for Christmas and New Years at Ushuaia, or east or west or wherever!
Costs:
At last word: Camp ground per person per day Arg$10.00. One time charge for tenting for the 3 days $10.
Meals, boat rides etc not included. See prices above in the plan.
Donations to defray Oscars expenses gratefully accepted! See Oscar at the Meeting.
Reservations SVP
We need to let the facilities know as soon as possible how many we're expecting so they can have enough staff on. NOTE: Food and drink is NOT included, but we're assuming you will want to eat and have a drink, or two...
