SHOWTIME!!!

So much to say, in so little time. I have nothing particularly profound to share today, I just thought that given that today is my departing flight for Buenos Aires, I should probably drop a line and get this ball rolling.

I am in Arizona currently at The Orme Ranch Camp. You won't find any pictures of me on the website, because I haven't worked there for years, but I still have a friend or two here that I absolutely had to say hello to on my way down south. I was able to take a trail ride yesterday and spent some good quality guy time with my former boss, and perpetual friend; Tim Magill.

On To The Trip!

I have booked my first 2 nights in Buenos Aires at a place called La Casa Esmeralda.  It looks like a very friendly place, and when I spoke to the woman on the phone there she was even giving me advice about how not to get taken by illegitimate taxi drivers at the airport who will apparently drive me around in circles until I have no cash left.  So, having said that I will be sleeping my first two nights in a dorm room with my fellow travelers. (I hope they don't mind spontaneous sleep-singing of Dr Dre (the early stuff, you know like '92) in my sleep - it's been known to happen)

I plan to spend the first couple of days getting my feet under me, and then deciding whether to head South down the coast, or across the bay to Montevideo.  Probably south, considering that Montevideo is in another country which means more visa fees.  If I can make it back there however I would love to, as it is supposed to be a beatiful city with a lot of culture.

Well I suppose that's it for now, except for one last important thing: Antonea informed me that she has been checking this blog nearly every day since I slipped into internet voids and stopped blogging in October, and I promised that I'd throw a shout-out in here.  Thanks Antonea!

That's all I have time for now, the next time I see this page I will be in Argentina!  I hope I don't have too much trouble with their Spanish keyboards.
