How would I get to the Amazon if I wanted to get there? Via COPA I suppose from PTY. In my case that is because from IAH to PTY then COPA is all my airlines and it would all be free. (I may have to pay a small fee for Copa like 12.50 each way.) In your case out of Atlanta? I don't know what would suit you better. Package deals I seem to do better without. All those transfers you talk about seems like you could do it without the package deals on your own. Seems like 700 PLUS for four nights is alot of money. That's too much money to give to naked Amazonians perched on top of the trees. WE HAD a Beijing package through our work, but I turned out and beat the package deal on my own. When I got back to work, everyone told me I did it better. When they add breakfast and tours, do the math, you will find that you are only talkin chump change in China. Of course, you don't speak BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE either do you? BOM DIA. COME VAI? Meu nomen e 29 Palmas. Eu bisognio de um copa de Vinho por favor.

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!
