Pets Along the Way in Chile

February 1, 2024 by Jane Kelley Leave a Comment

   This is Jane. Most of you know I’m all about pets. I’ve had butterflies, sea monkeys, ladybugs, Gary (you already know about Gary if you watch Jane’s Daily 3) and fireflies……….. Anyway, I’ve had a lot of pets. But there’s only one problem. You had to let the butterflies free, my sea monkeys died […]

Grocery Store Rankings in Chile

March 4, 2023 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

We spent a lot of time figuring out where to go for what at our grocery stores in Vitacura and on the road. Here’s some of our findings. Unimarc In Santiago, about 2 months after we moved in, the Unimarc down the street reopened after being closed for a fire. We could find mostly what […]

Nelson, no, Wilson

February 9, 2023 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

It started back in August shortly after we arrived and the kids joined choir in Vitacura. “Bye, Nelson!” a kid said to Wilson. We looked at Wilson, “Nelson?” Wilson quickly shared that everyone thought he had said his name was “Nelson”. At first he had tried to correct them, but then and he just went […]

Looking Back

January 23, 2023 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

Jane has already discovered this blog and has started going through the posts from our previous trip. Often times she’ll quote me back to me, which is interesting. While emotionally this trip has been a challenge for the kids, at six months in, I can honestly tell you that neither of them really like it. […]

Popeye

January 16, 2023 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

We in the US know Popeye’s love for spinach and chicken, but here in Chile we’ve found that Popeye makes fantastic biodegradable laundry detergent. I searched for quite a while for a non-scented laundry detergent in Chile. Here everything is scented, even the toilet paper. They don’t sell basic medication at the grocery store, but […]

Adventure Haircut

December 31, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

I’ve recounted in a past article that I shave my head before every big adventure. I do it because it’s easier to manage and keep clean when traveling. I decided I needed another trim for the Patagonia roadtrip. This time, like every time, Katie discouraged me from doing it. This time, like every time, I […]

Last Day in Santiago

December 30, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

On Dec. 30, we left Santiago for Pucon, Chile in the Los Lagos region. This is the first leg of a several months road trip through Chile and Argentina. We packed our 4Runner to the gills, filling every nook with an object or luggage. We purged as much as we could, but we still had […]

The Candy Cane Conundrum

December 13, 2022 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

The kids had been asking for candy canes since November. It’s such an everywhere thing at Christmas time in the US, they just assumed they would be around here in Chile. I mean, you see Santa, he gives you a candy cane. Your teacher puts on a Christmas movie, she passes out candy canes. Heck, […]

Some things I’ll never understand…

December 12, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

There are some things I’ll never understand about Chile, Santiago, and the rental house we have here. One thing in particular stands out, the handheld plunger….If these are sold in America, they should be an OSHA violation.

Ciao Ciao Bicicletas

December 11, 2022 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

Our beloved bikes are sold. We couldn’t figure out a low-hassle way to carry them south on our roadtrip, and with the kids loving their skateboard and rollerblades, we decided to sell them. My bike and Mark’s bike went to a mother and daughter. The mom texted me after they picked them up and told […]
