One week before departure!



So, here's a map.  My husband and I will be flying into Buenos Aires, staying for a few days, then we're off to see my husband's father and brother in the North - Chaco!  That's the cute little gray state in the North that looks like a horses head...guess it's better than being the other end of the horse!

Here's what I've found out so far about my trip:

1.)  I have to be careful what I bring into the country because they'll make you pay for it all over       again!

2.)  I can't wear anything nice or bring jewelry because we'll get robbed!

3.)  I have to pay an entrance fee of $160.00.  But hey, it's good for 10 years, lucky me!

4.)  The flight is going to take about 8 hours...I can't even imagine what this is going to be like!

5.)  We have to travel to Chaco by BUS, which is an 800 mile trip!  At night! On a two lane dirt road!  
      
Anyone ever see Ice Road Truckers Deadliest Roads?  Nuff said!

Yes, feel free to get life insurance on me!  Someone might as well get rich off this...

I plan on taking in the culture, not talking a lot (because my husband already told me everyone is going to laugh at my Spanish!), and do whole lot of people watching!

Don't worry, you'll get plenty of pictures...I promise!  And, the stories?  Well, you know that's going to be good too!
