South America

[gatinho69]

The trip to South America was truly outstanding, one of the best ever. Buenos Aires was particularily incredible in terms of the cities I visited. I expected more from Montevideo, Uruguay. While I loved Montevideo, it was a bit tragic due to the run down nature of the buildings, etc. Traveling through the lake district in Patagonia, Argentina

I've been reading your journal a little here and there. You sound like you live a really wonderfully interesting life just full of so many exciting things. What is it that you do that your work lets you travel to so many great places?

I work for a firm in the Washington, DC area as a conference planner and association manager. It does allow for just the right amount of travel. Unfortunately the client that I had that was based in Europe is no longer with us so currently I don't travel to that portion of the world for work. Much of the travel I do is personal such as the trip to South America. It has been a dream of mine for some time to travel to the Southern Cone of South America (specifically Argentina, Uruguay and Chile). I had lived in Brazil for six months many years ago so it was not important that I see it again during this last trip although I do love Brazil.

I was lucky enough to grow up with my family travelling around the world but as a grown up I haven't had a lot of opportunity to travel. I did get to finally take a vacation to mexico a couple of years ago. I loved it. I would love to be able to travel more. Do you ever travel to Canada?

It's funny you ask that. I have been wanting to go to Canada for years. I have not yet found the opportunity. Where exactly is the part of Canada you live in. You mention it is a pretty attractive place to visit. Such a big country with so much to see, I don't know where I would begin, East or West.
