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.

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
