Hi Trinora and Roger

Sorry for the delay in responding to you. For some reason we weren’t notified of your comment and Brad came across it recently when he was doing some maintenance on this site.
We are currently reading and laughing (in comraderie) at your e-Norm-ass adventures.
You can contact us at bjemond@gmail.com if you want to reminisce about the trip and compare Norm swear words. Looking forward to hearing from you. We hope its not too late to connect with you.

My husband Roger and I made this trip with the notorious Norm Yelland in 2014. Oh, how I wish I had found your superb blog before we contracted with that lying thief! We and a 2nd unit (single lady about 60) made it as far as a day out of Cartagena, Colombia. Norm tried to squeeze more money out of us and so we fired him instead and continued on our own to Santiago, Chile. By then, we were too tired to continue driving across the pampas of Argentina, so we shipped the RV back to Galveston TX and flew on to Ushuaia, then stopped at Iguazu Falls on the way back to Texas. Our experience with Norm pretty much mirrored yours. You can read it at southoftheborderbucketlist.blogspot.com

Ahhhh crossing the border… So were there any good sales at Walmart? Did Norm want to go halves on a case of beans?
I can only imagine the experience. I am so glad you blogged, and realize it only scrapes the surface of the realities you saw.
Great term. Photographers remorse… I totally get it.. It’s sad how that amazing multidimensional view gets flattened into something that just doesn’t do the original justice… I bet some of those.. Maybe I shouldn’t have taken that picture, pictures will hold the “feeling”longer.

Glad you did it, glad you are getting closer to home.
