And yes, I forgot about the Piranhas and Anacondas and bats...but did you ever know about the most feared of all in the AMAZON? Tell your husband not to jump in for a swim or to be sure to wear some good tight swimming trunks. THE CANDIRU!

Candiru


29Palms--you are sooooo encouraging.
This is a reall cool package--all meals, 4 nights in a treehouse suite in the jungle canopy, all excursions and boat transfers from Manaus to the hotel. It's the one where Survivor crews stayed. So far, I'm bidding $767 for the $3G deal. Not bad?
Actually, I've seen Iguacu and it's 7 times the size of Niagara, so it it really is monstrous! And I would gladly go thru BA and eat my way thru huge steaks. When I need help there--I'll ask for your fave restaurant.
I went to the Amazon whan I was a young thang, so I'm over the backpacker thing, too--this is a luxury type place (as luxurious as the Amazon can offer)
As for the bloodsuckers--Delta already did that to my husband's pension--so we'l be the parasites using the perks while we can! I loved your description, tho. You forgot about the pink river dolphins and the Rio Negro River--where you can't see the shore on either side in some palces--now that's HUGE!! And you forgot the piranhas--chomp chomp chomp.
Wanna bet NonRev1 is cringing--waiting to see my reply to yours? Anyway--how would you get there,if you WANTED to get there?[/b]
