If you ask me, I like the BUENOS AIRES to Iguacu falls idea, only because Buenos Aires is a great city with lots to do. You go to MAO, what you will get is high temperature and lots of wierd animals on the river with possible parasites and blood sucking wierd stuff nawing on you when they come out at night to feed. I'd leave the AMAZON for the backpacker types and the young, unless you absolutely wish to take a river cruise up the Amazon.
Buenos Aires is TANGO, STEAK, WINE, PASTA all rolled up into one burrito. I can't answer for IGUACU since I never went, but big deal. Go see NIAGRA or ANGEL FALLS in Venezuela should be even the big KAHUNA in the waterfalls department.

okay folks--you heard it here first:
I don't know everything about nonrevving. (shhhh--don't tell anyone, okay?)

BUT--could use help, please!

Bidding on auction for Ariau Towers Hotel,Manaus, Brasil.
Delta can get me to Panama City and I can picup Copa(they just joined Skyteam) to get to MAO.
Or I can get to MIA and try to ID on AA with every Brasilian and their uncles.
Or I can go south to Rio or Sao Paulo or Buenos Aires and veer to Iguacu to show my husband the falls (it will be a bit chilly in March!!)then come all the way back north. Or I can try someway to go thru Recife--
Does anyone with a brilliant travel mind see a good way to do this?
The auction pkg is up on Tuesday the 16th, so get with and HELP me! PLEEEEEEZZZZZ!
Pretty please?
Since I'm hoping to save a few thousand on the hotel, I can spring for some ID flights. Keeping in mind the visa costs are hefty.[/b]
