Serge, let's hope the world stays relatively calm while you are in South America. My friend was in Brazil on 9-11. She heard about the Twin Towers in her hotel room on CNN. The tour came to a halt. She got the only flight she found to return to the US. For once, the owners of the hotels and tours refunded all her money...100%! Very unusual. Usually, you have to fight for every cent.
A year went by and she returned, and loved all the countries she saw. Another friend is waiting for the unrest to settle down in Columbia so she may go home.
PICTURES! How about some pictures of the mountains, the nude beaches, and the emerald mines.
You're the king of trip pictures. Send them our way! It's rather quiet these days, and some pictures of nude bathers would wake up your webmaster buddies.
