Day 20 Isla de Pascua - Santiago

Today is a travel day - no not flying the Cheyenne, but LAN Air the Chilean Airline. The flight is 4 1/2 hours and is similar to the trip to Hawaii. The airlines at least is quite nice and I didn't have to worry about the weather or the arrival or the approach or even the departure. The rain finally stopped but it created a humid and hot day. After checking in and getting a baording pass we went to the local museum and read about the history of the people and the island. It was time to leave. I could have done one less day there but that was the minimum stay at the hotel.
I had dinner and spent the night at the Grand Hyatt in Santiago - which is a very nice hotel. Today is a brilliantly blue day and we are departing for Puerto Montt. I haven't checked the weather yet but I think it is going to be good. I haven't flown in 5 days and I am anxious to get going. We have two more legs of the trip to the South and then start back to the North. Yikes!
