Going to South America next week!

So, since I am on sabbatical for the Fall semester I am looking at doing a long-awaited maiden voyage to South America, specifically Argentina (Buenos Aires, Iguassu Falls, Glacier National Park, etc), Uruguay (Montevideo--because its across the river from Buenos Aires) and possibly Brazil.

I have found out that there is a $100 fee for a visa for U.S. citizens to enter Brazil, so I'm probably not gonna go there. (Apparently this fee is imposed because the U.S. charges Brazilian citizens one hundred bucks to enter the United States.)

Happily, American Airlines has reduced mileage requirements for international award tickets right now. Me and the other half are going to be on our long-awaited 15th anniversary vacation trip to South America September 18 to October 2.

Blogging may be light during that period.
