THE END OF THE WORLD AND BEYOND!

After a massive trip from Lima, Peru via hellish Santiago, Chile which lasted over 14 hours we have reached the end of the world and the starting point for the last leg of our trip, Ushuaia, Argentina.
So what will it take to go beyond the end of the world?
Wandering around Ushuaia this afternoon, half dead from the long journey we noticed these signs in several shop windows

 
Keywords to notice here are LAST & MINUTE. At first we said 'wow, 4900 USD for a trip to Antarctica, that's expensive' Then we walked inside to inquire more about this LAST MINUTE DEAL, and found out the following:
a) By LAST MINUTE they mean you must book the trip 10 days prior to departure here in Ushuaia.
b) You don't get your choice of room on the boat to Antarctica.
c) You don't get a special Jacket to wear on landings. Landings is when people on the trip go walkies in Antarctica.
d) You don't get special rubber boots to where on landings.
Other than the above mentioned items you get the same things as everyone else on the trip.
- all meals covered for the eleven days.
- the trip south takes two days down and two days back up so you have six days worth of exploring along with everyone else, which includes two landings per day.
- Special lectures about Antarctica
- DVD on Antarctica
and other Antarctic items. We we're a little disappointed though to find out that you didn't get a free penguin toy with the trip... Boooooo..
So now your asking yourself what's the difference between the LAST MINUTE BOOKING and the NORMAL BOOKING... Let me tell you....

7000 USD

The normal booking will cost a person 12000 USD!!! that's right 12000 USD... and the LAST MINUTE booking her in Ushuaia only cost around 5000 USD. Isn't that the biggest WHAT THE??
ANTARCTICA DOESN'T SOUND SO FAR AWAY NOW DOES IT.
START SAVING!!
Peace
PS: From where we are ANTARCTICA is only 1000 km away!!
