As part of the crazy conditions attached to that, I was able to fly into San Francisco, but had to depart from Los Angeles. Thankfully it was a night-time departure, so rather than the hassle of arranging a connecting flight, I decided to drive down the coast instead.

The travel bug has bitten hard: so far this year I’ve spent time in Estonia, California, Northern Ireland, Finland, Norway, Slovakia, England, and Sweden. With Austria and Macedonia already scheduled for this month, I should easily meet my goal of one new country a month. I see no reason why I can’t keep that up for at least another year or two.

Tierra del Fuego makes it to almost 10:15pm, which is pretty good, and probably the best I could sensibly get. (For some values of "sensible"). It's still over an hour a day less light than Tallinn at its peak though (and I don't know what twilight is like there - Tallinn gets an extra few hours of light a day over the official sunrise/sunset figures). The problem, of course, is that even Cape Horn is only at 55°S, i.e. only about the equivalent of the Giant's Causeway in the Northern Hemisphere.

I'll think about you when I'm in Oz for Christmas. :-p I dunno, Cook Island could be a lovely December holiday spot. ;-) But if you’re willing to compromise a little, Tierra del Fuego looks the business.
