Route of Travel

Our route of travel seems somewhat convoluted, though when viewing it on the map it makes more sense:

We leave Seattle around 11 am on Christmas Day, fly first to Dallas/Fort Worth, to Miami, to Santiago, Chile, and finally arrive in Mendoza at about 3 pm on Sunday, December 26. Argentina (GMT -3) is 5 hours later that Seattle (GMT -8), so our travel time is about 22 hours.
