My Spanish teacher did an exchange with a teacher from Argentina. Now I really want to visit! I was thinking maybe I could study abroad there during college.
How I did it: Round trip from Houston was only about $800. I stayed in Buenos Aires for a couple weeks.
The hostels are great... just do a little research on the hostels before getting there.
I eat steak for breakfast lunch and dinnner!!! It's a great party city too!
Lessons & tips: Research places to go, things to see and clubs to check out. The city has alot to offer.

Cloudberry is a highly skilled migrant.
Now my friend is bringing her two kids, as well as her brother.
What about me? Can I be your kid, too? I’ll even pay my own airfare!
A Girl in the Curl is back in school
my parents came from Buenos Aires in 1960.
I’m the first one to be born here in the US.
I haven’t been back since I was 17 so it’s time to go back.
Soon enough.

My friend whom I was going to travel with just called… her summer sched is up in the air because her daughter is starting college; she had pitched the Argentina idea to her brother before she raised it again with me, and now he wants to do it; and I have a work commitment (that I might, nonetheless, be able to get out of) during the time she wanted to go.
I am already feeling lousy about life today (sometimes that’s why I post my gratitude list) and this trip was the one thing I was really looking forward to. And now it’s out the window.
Crap. Crap. Crap.

Turns out I have a work commitment right in the middle of when R and I were going to go. Aargh! Hopefully there is some flexibility around when we can travel.
Who works at the end of July/beginning of August, anyway? How stupid is that?

and my mother even recommended it over visiting family as an appropriate use for inadequate vacation time!
When I mentioned I was going to take a tango class, though, she freaked out a little because of a friend of hers who picked up multiple diseases from some guy in a bar in Paris. I reminded her that, ahem, I am not only an adult but a public health professional. It’s also quite a stretch from taking a dance class in Washington, DC, to dancing between some Southern Hemisphere sheets…
I went for 3 weeks last year. I was in Buenos Aires, Salta, Mendoza, did some hiking around El Calafate & El Chalten, and saw Las Cataratas de Iguazu. I went in the spring, so it wasn’t to crowded and I lucked out with fantastic weather. I didn’t eat another bite of steak for 4 months following. Can you say “meat hangover?”

but I am definitely going to try to carve out time for it next summer, and put aside money. And maybe take a tango class first.
I have visited Argentina… Actually, I live in Argentina, although I was born in Venezuela.
i just need to collect some (or some more… :) ) money first hmmmmmm
